My family has been blessed with a miracle from holy oil and an annointing.

I received anointing when I was less than 2 years old, (as well as having many masses said for me and a whole gaggle of nuns praying for me). I drank a glass of turpentine, went into convulsions lost consciousness. I recovered, no permanent damage, although some may disagree whether or not there was any brain damage. ;-)

Some say I drink turpentine every time I open a bottle of Retsina! Never had the convulsions, but I suspect I may have "fallen asleep" a few times in my youthful exuberance for the stuff! As for my experiences, well there has never been any doubt about the brain damage part! :)
