Afanasyev: Luka Krymsky healed a child from a brain tumor of the fourth stage

Doctors were powerless before the brain tumor of the fourth stage, but after the prayer of St. Luke of Crimea, the disease receded. The story of his friend about the healing told on the air of “Crimea 24” leading and military correspondent of the TV channel “SPAS” Andrei Afanasyev.

We are talking about the grandmother of his friend, who in childhood became seriously ill and, according to the narrator, was healed by St. Luke of Crimea. According to Afanasyev, at the age of 10-11 years, doctors diagnosed the girl with a brain tumor of the fourth stage. Medicine was powerless before the disease.

Then the child was taken to Simferopol to St. Luke of Crimea.

“He prayed over her, they say, and put his hands on her head. A few days later, when they conducted a study, did an X-ray, the doctors only shrugged their hands, because they said that the tumor of the fourth stage in the brain had disappeared somewhere, Afanasyev said.

The woman, according to him, lived a long happy life: she gave birth to a daughter, and then a granddaughter appeared - the same familiar Afanasyeva, who now works at Moscow State University and has a degree. Afanasiev noted that it is not known exactly how many such stories exist, since not all the miracles of the saints become known.

Reflecting on how war changes a person, the correspondent said that it melts people down, cleansing them of “all kinds of impurities and toxins,” and makes them grow up rapidly. In his opinion, those who in 20 years passed through the crucible of war and survived, becomes incomparably more experienced even whitewashed with gray-haired elders.

Saint Luke (in the world Valentin Felixovich Voyno-Yasenetsky, 1877-1961) was an outstanding surgeon, doctor of medicine, professor and archbishop of Simferopol and Crimea. Among other things, he is known for carrying out all his most complex operations with only one eye – he lost vision in his left eye before the war.

In October 2026, in Simferopol, the relics of St. Luke were transferred from the Holy Trinity Convent to the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. The procession was held today, October 9, with the blessing of Metropolitan Tikhon of Simferopol and Crimea.
