Papa-Dimitris Gagastathis: She "cursed me with both her hands..."
"I was coming
down from Saint Nicholas and met an Old Calendarist woman and greeted her. But
she not only didn’t greet me, she turned around and cursed me with both her
hands…
"After some
time, she passed away, and she would come into my sleep every night in a
wretched state, like a beggar, and would trouble me and ask for something.
"I went to
Trikala, to the Metropolis, and reported it. I asked the Bishop what I should
do, and he told me: go at night, since during the day her children won’t allow
it, and perform a Trisagion at her grave so that her soul may be
forgiven. After I performed the Trisagion, she no longer troubled
me."
