The Orthodox Christians believe in the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. Miracles are happening every day. One of the greatest miracles is the Eucharist.
Within Orthodoxy through the gift of the Holy Spirit, we have had many monks who have spoken foreign languages which they were never taught. Recently one saintly monk in Greece received a visit from an atheistic woman from France who wished to chat with him. At first, since neither spoke a common language, an interpreter was needed. However, when the topic changed toward things of God, the monk understood her French as if she were speaking in Greek, and she understood his Greek as if he were speaking in French. She was converted to Christ and became a nun.
There is a recently published book from Greece which details many miracles happening in the past and even today.
We have many oil gushing icons of the Theotokos, of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, etc.
Our Church is the holy Church founded by Jesus Christ Himself. It is the Church of many martyrs. It was one with the Latin Catholic Church until 1054 AD.
There is a shrine dedicated to St. Nectarios who died in 1920. Many miracles have been attributed to him and he has visited many people after his death and healed them of all kinds of afflictions.
Hope this helps!

Hey all, I am a Catholic Charismatic and I was wondering if there's been anything like the "Charismatic Renewal" in the Eastern Orthodox churches?
What are your views on this?
God bless!

Blessed Father Seraphim Rose preached against the Charismatic renewal. So it's kind of hard to really find an Eastern Church that has Orthodox Charasmatics.
