The following is a list with only a fraction of the miracles that people have witnessed in Agios Nektarios church in Battersea in London SW11 5QR. We attribute the below miracles to Agia Mavra as it is Her who the people parayed to primarily, but in a few cases we dont know if there were other saints, like Saint Nectarios or our Holly Mother that were involved as the faithfull may have prayed to them as well.

The list of this miracles from Agia Mavra, is only a small fraction and only the ones since January 2013 and is only intended to offer awareness of Her Love for the faithful that are in need.Having recently (Feb 2014), visited the grand church of Agia Mavra in Hlioupolis in Athens,(with a dedicated website www.agiamavra.gr) we have also heared of many miracles and help that the Saint is granting to faithful.We thank all the priest there, including Father Charalampos Georgantas for the icons and gifts he gave for the faithfull in London.

We understand that the first small icon of Agia Mavra was brought into the church of Agios Nektarios in 2001 by Mr Nikos when he heared from his mother that he owes his life to Agia Mavra. Then a faithful lady from Cyprus who received Her help ordered the current icon and Mr Nikos created the stand. Mr Nikos who is now in his seventies owes his life to Agia Mavra. Because when he was a baby he had meningitis and his godmother was taking him as a baby to Agia Mavras church.On the way she fell on the water from Agiasma (Her Holly water) and he became well.Some of the miracles are more impressive than others. Our Lord only knows and decides that, frequently depending on the faith as well as what beneficial for each person.

The writer was not present in any of these miracles but has seen many other miracles from saints of our Lord from the Holly Mother and the Archangels and has no reason to doubt the Divine intervention. As just an unworthy faithful he could not have known if in any of these cases there was also help from Agios Nektarios himself, from the Holly Mother or our Lord but he believes that Agia Mavra wants to help people. The church of Agios Nektarios in the suburb of Battersea in London, not only has relics of Agios Nektarios, who is one of the most famous for his recent miracles saint, but is blessed the icon of Agia Mavra that has performed many miracles as well as the icon of the "Ready Listener Mother of God" (copy of the one that is in Holly Docheiariou Monastery in Mount Athos). Everyone will be helped, according to what the Divine Wisdom thinks is appropriate for the salvation of his should and his or hers spiritual benefit. The writer apologises beforehand for any inaccuracies and encourages people to email him with corrections or contacts, particularly if they feel scandalised by these readings.

She was admitted into hospital for electric shock treatment, of which she had two treatments. When she was about to have her third treatment, lying on the hospital bed with electric wires fastened to her shaven head, Ayia Mavra came to her bed side and told her three times to get up from the bed and not have this third electric shock treatment. She obeyed and walked out of the hospital. She recovered enough to lead a stable life. About 15 years later her daughter took her for a brain scan in Larnaca, Cyprus. The doctor called her daughter to his office, and asked if she had had any electro treatment on the past, he mentioned to her that if she had had the third treatment she would have died. Throughout the years Pantelitsa always spoke about a black saint who had come to her at her darkest hours, and when she went to the church of Ayia Mavra in Pera Pedi, Cyprus she screamed 'it's her, it's her' and cried with relief. Also in 1992, when she was in hospital undergoing a kidney transplant, Ayia Mavra came to her again, and told her that she would be alright. This gave her much strength to deal with her other illnesses that were to come. Unfortunately Pantelitsa passed away in January 2000, but her granddaughter, also named Pantelitsa who was young when her grandmother passed and did not know of these stories, had a dream where she was told to visit a church. She woke up and described the church that she had seen in her dream, we immediately knew which one it was (we had been before with my mother in law), and took young Pantelitsa who immediately recognized this church from her dream.

In the Church of the Virgin Mary in Camberwell (South London) there were in the 1970's two priests that were originally from the village of Anarotia, which is about 10 miles from Larnaka. There is a cave of Agia Mavra that has cured many faithfull, with waters coming from Stavrovouni. During the Turkish invasion in 1974 the Greek army that went there, not realising the sacred place, did something that stopped these waters and had as a result the soldiers to see a lady in black moving around the area like a ghost. (..it was Agia Mavra) eventually they realised what had happened and they made a church and Agia Mavra stopped wondering there in the night! At the same times the parish in Camberwell made an icon of Agia Mavra on the temple to commemorate Her presence (the temple that is to the right of the main one) .
