Ilor (Ilori, Elyr). The Church of St. George the Victorious. Abkhazia. 🌳⛪️🌳☦🌳⛪️ The Ilora temple in honor of St. George the Victorious was erected on the site of one of the seven main Abkhazian sanctuaries of Elyr-nykha in the XI century. Father Sergius, a priest serving here, became famous for being credited with the ability to exorcise a demon from a person. The church contains fragments of the relics of St. George the Victorious, myrrh-streaming and even bleeding icons. Myrrh–streaming icons and bleeding ones are one of the distinctive wonders of the temple. Icons are not very often put on public display. It is believed that the faces of saints cry in this way. Now there are several myrrh-streaming icons and one bleeding icon in the Ilora temple, which are especially revered by believers. They are strictly forbidden to touch them with your hands, to kiss them, you can only touch the wick of an unlit candle.
