It’s kinda like how in the RCC tried banning communion on the tongue, but it couldn’t be enforced.
maybe. something like that is ultimately the bishop’s call, but the people do have a say.

Are there any Orthodox Eucharistic miracles? I know there are some in the Catholic Church.( I was just reading about an one yesterday. I believe the RCC does consider the Orthodox Eucharist to be valid but not the eucharist in my Lutheran Church.
Now I know you’re not “needing” miracles, but I had the same type of question around 13 years back. Catholics are far more into Fatima, Medjugorje, apparition, miracle-driven “stuff.” I was so refreshed to find Orthodoxy driven by right teaching, sound and true ancient theology, proper liturgy, and Truth over miracles. But the funny thing is, I never saw one miracle as a Catholic. I’ve seen a few as an Orthodox Christian….

Can you say what kind of miracles? And I agree with you, right and sound teaching, proper liturgy, and Truth including the truth of Scripture are so much more important than miracles. And while I know that the RCC does not require belief in even the approved apparitions and miracles, sound doctrine is much more important. And I really loved and plan to re-read Fr. Seraphim Rose's book " Orthodoxy and the religion of the Future." And that book was prophetic about our times.

Myrrh streaming icons, incense flowing from miraculous icons, myrrh streaming in Bethlehem at Jesus’s birth site, myrrh streaming at the place where the Lord’s Body lay after crucifixion at the Holy Sepulcher Church, churches burned to the ground except for the icons, bees covering old ruined churches except for the icons, prayers answered, absolutely insane developments at work in my darkest days where my prayers to the Lord were answered and blew my mind, deep and profound forgiveness between folks where it never seemed possible, rose insincere flowing in our car when we mentioned the Holy Iveron Icon of Hawaii on the way up to see it!, etc. ☦️☦️☦️

the Taylor Icon of the Mother of God I could smell from the parking lot, when the icon was in the Church behind closed doors.
