On 13 July 2017 Sergeant Vasiliki Plexida
thanked God and the the Virgin Mary at the Divine Liturgy that took place at
the Monastery of Panagia Evangelistria Akrotiriani in Serifos island , after
the miracle she experienced on 19 April 2017, when she survived in a miraculous
manner the Greek Army helicopter crash in Sarantaporo that unfortunately left
four officers dead.
Following the Divine Liturgy, Vasiliki gave
her first public testimony explaining how she was saved:
“By the time I realized the first hit,
unconsciously I did my cross and asked the Panagia (Virgin Mary) to help me.
She immediately came down, I saw Her fully alive, She uprooted me with the
floor and the seat together, I felt being uprooted upwards and She placed me
completely to the back, to the left of the helicopter turned halfway backwards
so as not to remember any image.”
The sergeant dedicated an oil lamp to the
Virgin Mary, onto which a statuette of a helicopter is attached as a testimony
on behalf of the miracle. She also donated her prayer rope and the uniform she
was wearing that day, which has a tear due to the crash of the helicopter.
These were requested because they were touched by the Vergin Mary when She
saved Vasiliki from the crash.
Vasiliki’s mother also explained about her
daughter as soon as the helicopter began to fall: “As long as she was conscious
after the fall of the helicopter, she was praying to the Panagia, and the Panagia
Akrotiriani was the one who heard her and saved her”
When Vasiliki was asked what the face of the
Virgin Mary looked like, she responded that she could no longer remember the facial
features. And when asked if the helicopter had any icons, she said that every
Greek helicopter has one icon.
In the accident, Lieutenant-General Ioannis
Tzanidakis, Colonel Thomas Adamou, Major Demosthenes Goulas and Lieutenant
Constantine Hatzis died.
The helicopter was carrying out a
surveillance flight along the northern border to provide a sense of security to
the residents of the border areas, a repeat activity periodically.
