On March 9, 2024, the myrrh-streaming icon of the Mother of God “Softening of Evil Hearts” stayed in Tagaytay at the parish in honor of the Nativity of Christ. The priests served prayers, anointed the faithful with fragrant myrrh from the icon. At the end of the service, the towel on which the icon was lying became wet from the myrrh that had flowed from the icon. The parishioners reverently thanked God and the Most Holy Theotokos for the miracle. Myrrh, symbolizing the grace of God, is really capable to soften hearts.
