Venerable Gennadius of Vatopedi, Mount Athos

Our venerable father Gennady, being a doorkeeper in the Vatopedi Monastery, witnessed the miraculous multiplication of oil. One year, when there was a shortage of oil in the monastery, he, following the instruction of the abbot, continued to dispense oil to the brethren despite its scarcity. One day, entering the doorkeeper's room, he found a vessel full of oil, and the oil overflowed, flowing out of the doors. This miracle led everyone to glorify God and the Most Holy Theotokos, who cares for Her servants. The icon before which they thanked the Theotokos is still present in the doorkeeper's room.
