In the photograph (see below), next to Father Barnabas is a retired colonel (in a tracksuit), he is also a veteran of the Alpha group, who became a participant in a real miracle, or at least a fantastic event. Unfortunately, the man wanted to remain incognito.
In May, the Colonel and his wife (standing next to him in the photo) sat on the seashore in Sochi, enjoying the clean sea air and the vastness of the water surface. Suddenly their attention was attracted by a flock of dolphins, which swam to the very shore: the couple even managed to count them - exactly a dozen. Soon it became clear why these smart sea animals were crowding here - they were pushing something out of the water, and when they did their job, they immediately swam away.
Dolphins brought the icon of the Mother of God from the sea
The strange object that the dolphins brought ashore was covered in mud and looked very unpresentable at first glance, which made few people pay attention to it, although not only the colonel and his wife were resting near the sea at that moment. Ultimately, the wife asked her husband to see what the dolphins had pushed out of the sea.
The colonel picked up a mysterious object, cleaned it of mud and … experienced a real shock, as his wife did a moment later. It was an icon of the Mother of God (later it turned out - "Sign"). It turns out that the dolphins perfectly understood the value of this icon for people and that it has no place at the bottom of the sea (how it got there is another question). But where did they get this earthly religious knowledge?..
