==St. Irene the Wonder-worker==
Countless miracles surround St. Irene. First of these was the smell, the same present at the funeral, which continued at the saint's grave for years. Countless miracles occur at the site, and many prayers for St. Irene's intercessions are continually answered. One such series of miracles is for mothers who are unable to conceive: after asking for St. Irene's intercessions, often a child is born, and the parents will name their child Chrysovalanti or Chrysovalantou.
==Monastery of Chrysovalantou in Attika, Greece==
In 1930, many people witnessed the Saint digging the foundations for the convent that was then built in her memory. It is a fine and beautiful example of Byzantine architecture.
