Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Homer Glen, Illinois, is a humble brick building that houses a miraculous icon of St. John the Baptist. Since July 2015, the icon has been weeping holy oil, attracting visitors who seek its healing properties. The church, with its sacred space adorned with gilded icons and an iconostasis, follows Eastern Orthodox traditions and welcomes visitors to witness the phenomenon and receive blessings with the oil.
Under the guidance of Father Sotirios Dimitriou, the church has become a place of prayer and solace for both the local community and those who come from afar. While the weeping icon is a remarkable occurrence, Father Dimitriou sees it as a blessing for everyone, not just the church or its parishioners. The church has witnessed reports of healings, and visitors are moved by the experience of being in the presence of the weeping icons.
