Yes, the Myrah from the Hawaiian Streaming Icon has been lab tested. The combinations were impossible to replicate in all practicality and at least one part was impossible to identify, with no earthly corollary.
Wow! That is fascinating. Where did you hear/read about this?
I am friends with Reader Nectari the caretaker of the Icon. I have spent many hours with the Icon. I have seen the droplets slowly form and then run down. I have witnessed the rose fragrance come up and then recede and then come up again. I know people whose oil soaked cotton received from prior visits re moisten the night before the Icon comes by. He has lots of stories that are mind blowing. I have posted some of them in earlier threads.
I have seen it twice, and it makes me wonder, if God can do this with wood, what greater things can He do with us?
Then today from Prayers By the Lake audiobook:
"...When your image in the human soul vanishes, You give power and might to Your image in wood.
Those, who in the end will weep bitterly, laugh and say: "How can dead objects work wonders, which even we cannot work?"
Are these objects not alive, if You bring them to life?
And are people not dead, if You abandon them, O Fearful Lord?
Your angels know, yet people do not know, that all powers are Yours, in You and from You, and You manifest them through pure channels. What if a stone is pure while a man is impure? Will not the Lord's might be manifested through the stone rather than through the man?
Only a righteous man laughs with the laughter of joy. The laughter of the unrighteous man is malice.
The unrighteous man laughs at the relics of the saints, and he is consumed by malicious laughter. Oh if he only knew that the dead relics of the saints contain more life than his own flesh and blood!
Truly, malice is distant from the Most Merciful Lord, just as malice is always distant from virginity, rationality and sanctity.
Indeed, the Logical Lord is always ready to do good to men through men. But when men become impure, and become bereft of logic and holiness, the All-Merciful rushes to help people through dead objects.
O All-Merciful and Longsuffering Lord, do not leave the world without the channels of Your might and mercy."
St. Nikolai Velimirovich
Prayer XXXVIII
