The Relics of Saint Ephraim of Nea Makri in Canada


Saint John the Baptist Hellenic Orthodox Church is located in Saint-Hubert in the region of Quebec, and was established in 1985. This parish has the special blessing of having a large icon of Saint Ephraim of Nea Makri, along with one of his slippers as well as a portion of his hand. These relics were given to this parish by the late Eldress Makaria Desypris (1911-1999) herself, who Saint Ephraim first revealed himself to and indicated to where his long lost relics were, which she discovered in 1950.
