Hieromonk Isaiah Recounts 2002 Miracle of St. Basil of Ostrog Healing Mute Boy
In a video recording, Hieromonk Isaiah recounts a miracle that occurred in early 2002 at Ostrog monastery in Montenegro. He describes how a mother named Ružica from the town of Danilovgrad brought her six-year-old son Luka to the monastery. The boy had been mute since the age of two. Hieromonk Isaiah read a prayer for health over the child and anointed him with oil from the vigil lamp (kandilo) before noon.
According to the account, that very afternoon the boy began to run and speak normally. The following day, Luka himself asked to be anointed again with the oil. Hieromonk Isaiah presents this event as a manifestation of the intercession of Saint Basil of Ostrog, the monastery's founder and a renowned wonderworker in the Serbian Orthodox tradition.
