Ion’s home, in his courtyard. Arrival at Târgu-Mureş around 24 hours. Women are mandatory to wear skirts and
kerchief on their heads! Attention! Pilgrims are to have, if they wish, in order to give to the altar for the liturgy, the
diptych list with the living and the dead from the family, one bottle for the LIVE WATER (= The Holy Water of the
Mother of God!!!) from the fountain next to the Trinity Cross and a bottle for water from the river, to be poured in the
bath tub for healing! By the river water is to be taken from next to the Cross, five meters up and down the river next to
the cross, holy water, as that is the only place where the face of our Lord Jesus Christ appears on the water. One can
also bring clothes, photos of sick or healthy people from the family and not only, flowers to be laid by the Mother of
God’s Cross, objects to be consecrated (icons, crosses etc.), camera, recorder, wafers and wine for the altar, who wants
to! if one arrives on Sunday or on a holiday when there is a liturgy at the church in the village. The church is orthodox,
with the Dedication The Assumption of the Mother of God and Saint Pious Parascheva, where Prophet Ion also goes to
attend the liturgy held by Orthodox Priest Father Sorin.
In the bath tub the following are to be put: 3 drops of fountain water and 3 drops of water from the river. The entire
body is to be washed, the same as during baptism, for healing. At least one day before leaving for Ionesti, it is
recommended to make a phone call and get the confirmation that Uncle Ion is at home, if one goes separately from a
group, by car or by train. Then once one sees results, he or she is to go back and thank by the Mother of God’s
Trinity Cross with a bouquet of flowers and that is what the thanking consists of!
The Mother of God appears in the Trinity Cross every day between 12-13 hours and at night between 0-1 hours. She
speaks with Uncle Ion, She appears Herself to him out of the icon in the church and also at his home. Our Lord Jesus
Christ appears to him 3 times a day and Uncle Ion prays at Jesus’ feet for us, the sinners.

Saint Ion Marin: The Mother of God here gave over 700 children to those who could not have or keep children before!

Camelia M, pilgrimage coordinator, orthodox, 37 years old, from Târgu-Mureş: “I read about this in “Formula As”
newspaper!!! I had a wound in my throat for about 6 months, that would not heal with medicines or anything, but with
water from the fountain and with Prophet Ion’s touch, it got healed! Then one year later I had a tumor behind my navel
the size of an orange; it was hardened. I also got cured there! Then I had lung cancer and I also got healed there with
faith! Saint Ion blew Holy Spirit over me and Lord Jesus Christ cured me! I thank him! I’ve been at Ioneşti over 100
times in 10 years. Several times on the river I saw Our Lord Jesus Christ’s face, Saint Mary’s face and also a cross that
I took a picture of! I saw the Dance of the Sun in the sky! In the picture I took then the Mother of God appeared in the
sky above the Trinity Cross, with Jesus as a child in Her arms! I photographed, inside the Trinity Cross, colored globes
of light! And beams! Saint Ion has the initials K and N marked on his hands! Myself and my family were helped with
all our needs and I’ve been the witness of many miracles and healings! My nephew quit smoking, started to get good
grades at school, my brother was helped with his business, my cousins who could not have children after several
treatments, finally had them with the help here. My 92 years old grandfather was healed and he stopped being confined
to bed, my mother got healed from many diseases. When I was in Heaven, I saw Uncle Ion in the Mother of God’s
throne hall, surrounded by children, and I talked to him. He was sitting on a throne right next to the Mother of God’s
throne. When I got back to heaven again, I saw Saint Ion there again, behind a golden gate!!! One can feel the strong
myrrh smell inside the Trinity Cross, in the village church while Uncle Ion is there at the liturgy and also in his house.
In April 2010, one day before the Easter Fasting was about to start, that I intended to observe for the whole duration,

1
again did I feel pain in my throat, I had internal bleeding; I could only have liquids. I phoned Uncle Ion who blessed
me, so that when I would next hear him I would be healed. Right after I called, I could start eating solid food and by the
noon of the following day I was completely healed and I could eat anything. I called again the next day to tell him
about this miracle and thank him. It was one day later! After my phone call and after the first fasting day!
I thank the Holy Father for the miracle healing and to Saint Ion for having intervened for me with his prayers. I prayed
in the Trinity Cross for being able to go as a pilgrim to the Holy Land. I hoped for a miracle, as, out of my salary, the
minimum there is in Romania, I could not possibly ever afford that. After 2 years of prayers by the Trinity Cross, the
miracle happened. I received a gift of tens of millions of lei from the Holy Father from the vessels He works through.
At Easter when the Holy Light was descending, I was in the church next to the Holy Grave.
I organize pilgrimages by car and minivans, taking there other people called for. It is only the ones who are called that
make it there! I thank the Holy Trinity, to the Mother of God and to the Saint Prophet Ion for everything, I ask for
forgiveness for all my sins and for a good answer at the Great Inquest! Come to Ioneşti! Here are the Holy Trinity and
the Mother of God who work through their vessels.”

Ginerica Petrica, Bucharest, orthodox, student of Theology and pilgrimage organizer: “I confess that his holy work at
Ioneşti is for the people’s return to faith. I’ve kept coming here for 7 years and I’ve seen people from all over the
country, some to ask for help with their problems, some to thank for the help they’d received. I am the happiest and the
most content that, through Uncle Ion, God enlightened me to understand what life is about and helped me throughout
all my needs many times in a wonderful way. Let’s return to faith and “Praise God” in one voice! In this way we will
not be sad anymore, but our life will be in joy, as we have Our Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, we have the Mother
of God and all the saints who love us. Peace and Love! God help everybody! My mobile phone: +40 728 071 311.”

Maria from Blaj, orthodox: “I organize pilgrimages by minivan. Once upon our return from a pilgrimage Our Lord
Jesus appeared to us as a beggar and asked us to give him one thousand lei (translator’s note: old Romanian Lei, the
equivalent of 1 New Romanian Leu) each person in the car. It was a small amount, but there were a few people
rumoring. Shortly after the car we were in broke. We stayed in the road for an hour and a half praying and asking for
holy help. At Ioneşti we received all we’d asked for and then we were put to trial for the Divinity to see whether we
deserved the help we’d been granted. We had received great gifts. I, Maria from Blaj, tell you that there was a person
who spoke badly about the Prophet and a month after the visit there, the person died!!! Don’t go there if you do not
believe in God! Others promised they would put the Evil behind them and when they invoked it again, they became ill,
confined to bed!”

Ştefan, pupil in the 7th grade, catholic from Ogra village! Unsuccessful first surgery, scheduled for the second surgery
in June 2007. A few days before the second surgery he is taken to Ioneşti, enters the river and when he comes out, he
tells his mother, catholic Ana Nagy, that he got healed! No further surgery was needed! He wanted to be baptized
orthodox, the same as his mother. The boy’s father, a protestant, had open wounds on both legs, thrombosis. He goes to
Ioneşti and is told in Saint Ion’s courtyard that he would be cured in 5 days by takings baths with water from the river
and the fountain. He does so and on the fifth day he gets healed. He had also baptized orthodox!!!

Liliana from Mioveni, 23 years old, with cancer. She sees the Mother of God in her dream, calling Liliana to Her:
Liliana, come to Me to Ioneşti! Her parents had brought her on a stretcher. During the Unction, she felt something
unusual happening to her and got down the stretcher on her feet. He stayed there for another day, praying and
confessing the terrible sins she’s had made, then she died with a smile on her face and the cross in her hand. That is
when it was made clear that the Mother of God had called her not for the body healing, but for that of the soul.

Maria B.: „I am from Cluj and I have 2 daughters, out of which one is suffering from a handicap. My sick daughter has
attained peace and quiet and has become a calm person, who now listens to me and prays. When Uncle Ion saw me
with my daughter, he told me that she was conceived on a Sunday!!! Pay attention, young people! Learn from others’
mistakes, in order to avoid your own suffering!”

Aurelia Ion, Piteşti: “I thank the Holy Virgin for, once having washed with water from the Trinity Cross, the curtain I
had on my eyes for many years, fell down.”

Emilian Popa, Sapata commune: “I prayed by the Trinity Cross for having a child and God listened to my ardent wish,
after years of waiting.”

Ioana Sima, Bascov commune: “One of my hands was stiffened, so that I could not use it anymore. I prayed by the
Trinity Cross, I washed my hand with holy water and here I am now, hurrying to write thankful words.”

Maria Vasile, Curtea de Argeş: "I was neurotic. I couldn’t sleep and I was trembling all over. I left the Trinity Cross
healed and with no worry.”

Niculina Gheorghe, Căteasca commune: "I had 6 surgeries and the doctors did not give me much longer to live. They
sent me home saying that only God could save me anymore. And so He did!”

Dumitru Rizea, Buzoieşti commune: “My right leg was paralyzed. I came to the Trinity Cross in a friend’s car, carried
on arms. I left there on my own feet!”

Bogdan Vieru, Hioreni village: "I could no longer see with one eye. The doctors said it was totally compromised. I
washed with water from the Trinity Cross and now I can see.”

Mirela Marin, Ioneşti, Argeş: "I prayed by the Trinity Cross while pregnant, for an easy birth giving. I dreamed the
Mother of God at night, who was helping me to give birth. When I woke up in the morning, before I opened my mouth
to speak, my husband Petrică told me that he dreamed of the Mother of God helping me to give birth. We both had the
same dream!”

Ana M.: ”I am from Cluj. One of my children, who could not grow anymore, finally did after Ioneşti!”

Olivia, orthodox, gave up smoking after her first visit to Ioneşti!

"My name is Mirabela. I’m a doctor, an orthodox and live in Târgu-Mureş. I had some trouble and I went, together with
my boyfriend, Lucian, to the church, asking priest Lazăr a fasting for our benefit. He guided us to read the Mother of
God’s Invocations. After a three weeks’ fasting, God brought to my boyfriend’s work place Camelia, who went there to
make some xerox and we found out about Uncle Ion. After speaking with Camelia, we went to Ioneşti to meet him. We
were both deeply impressed by this simple, wonderful man, with his kind look and decided to let him help us. We
asked him what was good and what was wrong to do. We made it through with God’s help, with Uncle Ion’s prayers
and with live water from the fountain to give up all bad things: smoking, drinking, going to clubs, swearing and we’ve
become more faithful. At Ioneşti we saw a man who had suffered from varicose ulcer on his ankle for 20 years, that
nothing helped to cure. Uncle Ion’s prayers and the live water have cured him! My sister Georgiana, a lawyer, after
having passed by Ioneşti, managed to take her exam in magistracy in order to become a judge. Uncle Ion told her:
“When you pass that exam, you will know that God has always been with you!”. I can tell you that since our visit to
Uncle Ion we do great, we go to church every Sunday and we got a candle that always stays lit in our house. We thank
from the bottom of our hearts to Camelia, who helped us get there and thank God for having sent us to Uncle Ion to
help us in the fight with the evil!”

Doina from Dej: "Once I read in the newspaper about Ioneşti, I necessarily wanted to get there, as for 4 years I had
tried to get pregnant, with no success. I went to Ioneşti and I now have a 9 months old daughter, Ioana-Magdalena.”

Mihai from Cluj, baby born with one eye only, was not walking, not speaking, had incontinence. After Ioneşti he has
the second eye growing, he walks and speaks! His grandmother went to Ioneşti alone the first time, then she took the
child, who miraculously got cured in Uncle Ion’s courtyard.

“I’m Alexandru Ionuţ Marin, 18 years old, from Piteşti. I heard of this PROPHET from somebody and from the TV and
I decided, together with my family, to go to Ioneşti and find cure to our body and soul sufferings. The first thing we did
once arrived to this HOLY MAN, THE PROPHET ION MARIN FROM IONEŞTI, ARGEŞ, was giving up the evil
(that is stopping giving to the evil), in order for Uncle Ion to be able to pray for us to THE SON OF GOD and for
JESUS to accept us as part of HIS HOLY FLOCK. I, Alexandru, when getting to THIS HOLY PROPHET, was
suffering from a lung disease, incontinence, squint, I was very fat, my feet were always hurting at night and I could not
rest, I was hunchback, I was too short. As I stepped in the PROPHET’s courtyard, I felt easy and enlightened in body
and soul. THIS PROPHET also helped me and my brother with our exams and all our needs. We received from GOD
all we asked for. When we left there, I felt as if I had been to OUR LORD JESUS, as if HE HAD TOUCHED ME
AND BLESSED ME, NOT UNCLE ION. I was sent, together with my family to pray by the Holy Trinity Cross to
THE MOTHER OF GOD AND THE HOLY TRINITY for healing and help, to take water from the fountain and the
river where the face of THE SAVIOUR had appeared. He told me to take water within 5 meters from the cross, as that
only was live water and, once arrived home, to take a bath at once with a little water from the river and from the
fountain, to wash myself very well, as the devil hides even behind a hair. When home, I did exactly what THE
PROPHET had taught me to and in less than a month I got healed of all the sufferings I had had. Reason why I guide
you to this HOLY PROPHET, that OUR FATHER CHOSE TO BE HIS VESSEL, through which His children are to
find the salvation of their souls, healing of their body and soul, help with all their needs and sufferings, at school, with
their exams, at their work place, in their marriage, the same as I was helped. PAY ATTENTION!!! THE WATER
FROM THE RIVER AND THE FOUNTAIN IS NOT HELPFUL UNLESS YOU TAKE THE BLESSING FROM
PROPHET ION. AND KEEP IN MIND: THIS PROPHET DOESN’T ASK FOR MONEY FROM ANYBODY FOR
WHAT HE DOES. LET THAT BE KNOWN! THE HOUSE IN HIS COURTYARD WAS BUILT BY MR. VASILE
BAROI, A MAN WHO HAD SEEN THE PROPHET HIMSELF, AS A THANKFUL DEED FOR THE HELP HE
HAD RECEIVD FROM GOD. MR. BAROI BUILT THIS HOUSE! SOME EVIL PEOPLE AND EVEN SOME
NEIGHBOURS TELL MANY BAD THINGS ABOUT THIS PROPHET. KEEP THAT IN MIND AND DON’T
BELIEVE WHAT MEAN PEOPLE SAY! FOR THIS IS OUR FATHER’S WORK! THIS PROPHET GATHERS
THE FLOCK IN ORDER TO GIVE IT FURTHER TO THE SHEPHERD JESUS! DO NOT LET YOURSELVES
DECEITED BY MEAN PEOPLE AND BY THE CUNNING DEVIL, AS THAT IS WHAT THE DEVIL WANTS:
TO LEAD US! I KINDLY AND HUMBLY INVITE YOU TO GO AND SEE THIS PROPHET, FOR YOU ALSO TO
FIND HELP AND SALVATION THE SAME AS I DID! FOR ALL LIVING CREATURE TO PRAISE GOD!
HALLELUJAH!“

“My name is Mihaela Fărcaş, I’m 14 years old and I’m from Reghin. I heard about this holy prophet from my cousin,
Camelia M. As she told me about Uncle Ion, I started to believe in him and decided to go to Ioneşti, together with Aunt
Jenica and her family. One Sunday morning, once arrived to Ioneşti and entered the Trinity Cross to pray for my
family, I felt a warmth in my soul and the presence of Virgin Mary who was beside me. And as I entered the holy
church in Ioneşti I met Prophet Ion. He gave me his blessing and I felt as if I had been to Lord Jesus. And as I got to his
home and entered his courtyard, I felt as if I entered the holy Heaven. He blessed me and the things I had upon me.
Prophet Ion is sent by God and that who believes in him will be cured of any disease. As I reached home, I called him
asking for help with my study. The following day I had paperwork and I got the maximum grade, 10. Uncle Ion makes
miracles; he also helped my mother several times not to faint, as she was suffering from epilepsy. My mother drank
water from Ioneşti and she had rarely fainted ever since. I advise you to go to Ioneşti and see the Holy Prophet! It is
worth the effort! He can help you with anything, the same as he helped me. If you want to call him, here is his number:
+40 722 858 503.”

“My name is Maria P., from Sântana de Mureş. I’m 52 years old and I’m an orthodox. I found out about Uncle Ion
from Camelia. I believed and I went to see him for health and for my family. I had had bad analyses. After my first trip

4
to Ioneşti, my analyses were very much all right. There is peace and quiet in our family. My child had to pass an
important exam – a unique thesis. I spoke with Uncle Ion on the phone, the child received the blessing and he got good
grades. I thank God and invite you all to go and see the miracles in Ioneşti. December 18, 2007.”

Lidia, 50 years old, orthodox, from Târgu-Mureş: “I found out about Camelia from a colleague at the work place. I
went in pilgrimage to Ioneşti on the summer of 2007. I received the blessing of Uncle Ion. Many have changed in my
life. I went to Ioneşti with the desire to stop smoking. From the moment I walked out Uncle Ion’s gate, I did not feel
the urge to smoke anymore and from that moment I gave up this vice. In November 2007, my mother ELENA, aged 73,
orthodox, was diagnosed with lung CANCER with metastases. When I was the most desperate, Camelia called to ask
me whether I would go to Ioneşti. I told her about my sorrow and she offered to take my mother’s pyjamas to be
blessed to Ioneşti. Uncle Ion blessed them and said “she will be cured by miracle, for her relatives to see”. In February
2008 we went for a check-up and, to the doctors’ amazement, the metastases were gone. The miracle of God happened
through faith. We thank God, the Mother of God and the Saint Ion Marin for the prayers and the help.”

Ileana Acs, protestant, 34 years old, from Sântana de Mureş: “I found out about Camelia from a very good neighbor. I
had been hospitalized for 2 months together with my daughter, Ioana, aged 5, time during which she was under
perfusions. The doctors didn’t give her any chance to survive. The little girl could not eat or walk or talk. Camelia
immediately came to the hospital, to bring us live water and anoint us with unction blessed by Uncle Ion. That is how
we found out about Ioneşti and decided to take a trip there. Uncle Ion gave us his blessing. When we reached home, my
little girl started to talk, eat and walk on her feet. I thank God and Uncle Ion for the miracle that happened. My little
girl feels great at present. I urge you to have faith and to go and see the miracles at Ioneşti!”

Cristina M., orthodox, Târgu-Mureş: “On the third day of the 2007 Christmas, my father was found by SMURD with
pneumonia on both lungs and very high fever. He was urgently transported to the municipal hospital in Reghin, where
the investigations continued. He was in a very severe state, not being able to walk not even to the bathroom (only
helped by 2 men). My mother was not allowed in the ambulance and was told to take a taxi to the hospital. It took her
1-2 hours, period during which she received a phone call from her sister, Aurelia, who dreamed that my grandmother
(who had died about a year before) had come to take my father with her. My mother got scared and desperately called
me to tell me that my father was ill. Once arrived in Reghin, passing by the Saxon church, I phoned uncle Ion and told
him about my father’s condition. I then received his blessing for my father to get healed. When I reached the hospital
(about10 minutes later), my father was sitting on the bedside waiting for me and my mother told me that he got up 10
minutes before only. Uncle Ion made a miracle healing; 6 days later was father was discharged from the hospital,
healed. The doctors were very much wondered about that.”

Viorica C., orthodox, from Căpuş, Mureş county: “After having been to Uncle Ion in Ioneşti several times and told him
about my 28 years old son that he was drinking, was not married and did not respect me as a parent, one day I received
a call from him. He told me that he got married in another locality, that he entered a good family and that everything
was fine. My 24 years old daughter went to Uncle Ion asking him to bless her to get pregnant and so she did.”

“I’m Ana B., 57 years old, from Târgu-Mureş, orthodox. I sincerely confess that I went to Ioneşti together with my son,
who was smoking very much. We met Uncle Ion and from that moment he never smoke another cigarette ever again.
My daughter-in-law succeded to get pregnant after a trip to Ioneşti. Have faith and go to Ioneşti to see Uncle Ion with
any trouble you may have. Trust him and you will feel his help.”

“I’m Monica David, 25 years old, orthodox, from Band village. I was very ill, with tremendous headaches. After the
medication I took, once the RMN indicated my disease, I felt no relief; the medication was not effective. My father
found out about Ioneşti and we went there together 3 times. Thanks to Uncle Ion’s prayers, I got well. Then I wanted to
have a baby and couldn’t, because of the medication I had been under. Again did I get my wish fulfilled and I gave
birth to a healthy baby girl. I thank God and Uncle Ion for all the help offered. My father gave up drinking for good
after the pilgrimages to Ioneşti, where he received more gifts from God.”

“I’m Mihaela Chelbezan, 24 years old, orthodox, from Târgu-Mureş. I want to thank Uncle Ion and the Saint Devout
Parascheva for having made a great miracle with me, that rarely happens nowadays. I went to see Camelia and told her
about how much I wanted to meet a good man. I had many family problems. She gave me live water from Ioneşti and
several xeroxed prayers, orthodox hymns and invocations, dictated by angels with great power from heaven, for me to
pray. She took a diptych of mine to Ioneşti. I also went to Iaşi and prayed by Saint Devout Parascheva’s relics, asking
Her to open my way to Ioneşti. Thanks to that and to Uncle Ion prayers, two weeks later I met my future husband, an
orthodox, a great man, faithful and fearful of God, with whom I then went to Ioneşti. The second great miracle was
made for my brother. When I went to see Uncle Ion on a winter day of 2010 and entered the gate, I felt a great power
and felt greatly well. My brother’s ex-girlfriend returned to him and they got back together. My mother’s leg got
healed. I can hardly thank Uncle Ion and Saint Devout Parascheva for everything they gave me: returning to faith, a
husband, health in my family and good gain from my work. Go there and you will feel the wonders in your families if
you have faith!”

“I’m Aniela, 28 years old, orthodox from Târgu-Mureş. I took a pilgrimage to Ioneşti in in 2010 and I prayed by the
Mother of God’s Trinity Cross for the fulfilment of many wishes I had. Uncle Ion blessed me and upon my return my
wishes came true. I thank the Mother of God and Uncle Ion for everything.“

“I’m Elena S., 75 years old, orthodox, from Târgu-Mureş. My daughter-in-law, Alexandra, orthodox, was very ill,
hospitalized. I heard about Camelia taking pilgrimages to Ioneşti. I also learned about Ioneşti from the “Formula AS”
newspaper, that a relative had brought to me. She had received the paper on the steps of the church where she used to
go. I was not able to take a pilgrimage at the time and I asked Camelia to take a diptych list and some clothes over
there, to that church and to Uncle Ion for Alexandra’s healing. I returned to Alexandra in hospital with the blessed
clothes and live water from the fountain next to the Trinity Cross. Three days later, my daughter-in-law was discharged
from the hospital and came home. On August 15, 2010, the Assumption Day, a pilgrimage to Ioneşti was organized. It
was the Dedication Day of the village church. I went there to give thanks from my family and bring flowers by the
Mother of God’s Trinity Cross. Also to thank Uncle Ion for his prayers and for all his help.“

“I’m Aurelia B., 60 years old, orthodox. I first heard about Ioneşti at church from Camelia. I went to Ioneşti several
times in the past years. I had many revelations during this time, in my dreams and visions. I even saw the Mother of
God and Uncle Ion in my house twice. After having had live water blessed by Uncle Ion, I got healed from many
diseases and I overcame very well all temptations and trials. I gave live water to others too. I’m healthy and I keep
going to Ioneşti. I always come back happy, filled with light and power. I thank the Holy Trinity, the Mother of God
and Uncle Ion for everything.“
