**LANGLEY, BC —** As reported by [OrthoChristian](https://orthochristian.com/181488.html), the myrrh-streaming and wonderworking Hawaiian Iveron Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos has begun a pilgrimage through Western Canada, drawing hundreds of Orthodox faithful to its first reported stop at St. Herman of Alaska Church in Langley, British Columbia.

The icon was brought from Hawaii by its guardian, Fr. Nectarios Yangson, who has traveled with it internationally since it began streaming myrrh in his basement in 2007\. On November 11, a Paraklesis service before the icon at St. Herman’s was served by eight priests and attended by 540 faithful, who venerated the image and received anointing with its holy myrrh.

The Western Canadian pilgrimage continues through November 19, with services scheduled at Orthodox parishes in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The remaining stops are:

- **November 13–14:** St. George the Great-Martyr Russian Orthodox Church, Sylvan Lake, Alberta.
- **November 14–15:** All Saints Russian Orthodox Church, Calgary, Alberta.
- **November 15:** St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco Russian Orthodox Church, Calgary, Alberta.
