Pomorie Monastery Holy relics from st. George's day pictures

Here are the pictures of the holy relics which were temporary sojourned in Pomorie's Monastery for veneration in the the period 04.05.2011 - 14.05.2011.

It's been like a tradition that the monastery is blessed with having a different saints holy relics on the Monastery feast day (St. George's day).

Last year in the monastery were exhibited for veneration the holy relics (the hand remains) of St. Dasius

This year the holy relics the good tradition by God's grace was continued as the holy relics of the saints:

• Saint Great Martyr George
• Saint Venerable Macrina
• Saint Marina
• Saint Cyprian and Saint Justina

were for veneration in the Monastery Church called also Saint Great Martyr George / Sveti Velikomachenik Georgi

Here are the pictures of the holy relics I was able to obtain:

Saint Great Martyr George hand holy relics
Saint Venerable Macrina Holy Relics (hand bone)
Saint Cyprian and Justina Holy relics

There were also few other particles of saints which are permanently in the Pomorie monastery and christian pilgrims can freely go there to venerate them so I would not post pictures of this holy relics here.

What is really striking is that all the Holy relics had a very specific odor (similar to Roses) but as the monk Father Sergii said (an Odor not of this world).
God's grace can be felt with one's heard when he is near the holy relics of this great saints, the monk father Sergii told me that the reason for the odor is that God testifies in that great way that the holy relics belong to his saints.
Each saint holy remains had a different (parfume like) odor, it's really amazing and hard to believe but I have smelled the scent myself!
