About the holy day of the icon “Inexhaustible Chalice”

At the end of the 20th century, when the icon “Inexhaustible Chalice” was revived, its holy day was dedicated to the day of the repose of St. Varlaam of Serpukhov - 18 May (NS), fragments of the icon were revealed through the representation of this saint. In 1997, with the blessing of the Holy Patriarch Oleksiy II, the holy sanctuary of the icon of the Mother of God “Inexhaustible Chalice” was established on May 18th (NS).

Nina at the Vladichny Monastery from the blessed Metropolitan of Krutitsky and Kolomna Juvenal, in line with the extra-church antics, the tradition of the holy sanctification of the icon “Inexhaustible Chalice” of the 10th century is revived, as was the case in the 19th century.

History of the icon “Inexhaustible Chalice” in the 20th century

The miraculous icon “The Inexhaustible Chalice” was kept at the Vladichny Monastery until 1919, and after its closure - at the Mykola Bily Cathedral on Kaluzkiy Street. The further part of the icon is unknown. According to the old-timers of Serpukhov, it is clear that many icons from the Cathedral of Mikoli Bely were burned on the birch of the Nari River. The sisters of the monastery are confident that the Mother of God has saved her miraculous icon, and it will soon be found.

In 1993, Rotsі at the Voskotsk Cholovichom Monastirі, after two rocks of Pislya Yogo Vidkritty, Bulo written a list of miraculous ikoni “Inexhaustible bowl”, the plot of the vidrodzhennya of the pounds of the tsієi ikslya pyslya of the Dovgi Bogoboyes.

In 1995, on the first day of the rebirth of the Vladichny Monastery, Abbess Oleksia received the blessing of Metropolitan Juvenaly of Krutitsky and Kolomensky for the rebirth of the icon “Inexhaustible Chalice”, which was revealed at the Vladichny Monastery. Whose fate was written in an old photograph to create an exact list of the icon “The Cup That Was Not Drunk.” The sheet preserves all the proportions of the icon and the academic style characteristic of the original. The hour of painting the icon, if the image is still in the icon painter, is connected first with the miracle of healing. “Nun Rachel. On the beginning of Holy Week, at the hour of the Divine Service, I wanted to leave the cat lit by the portier in the temple. All the people left the temple, but they all stood still. When the sisters lit the fabric, they saw that it was old, with designs and purposes. Everyone wondered who could bring it, and they wondered at the dissatisfied celebrities. And if they brought the new icon “The Inexhaustible Chalice” on Friday, they were even more astonished: it turned out that there were definitely no one who would come before it in size. So this icon is still available at your place. Approximately across the river, a woman came to the temple, marveling at the icon of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” and saying: “This is my cat!” This woman confessed that she brought the bottle to the monastery, leaving her sons to drink. That’s how it happened - no one knew what icon was in this case, but the Mother of God had already healed the people.” (Chronicles 1996, page 5, 19th quarter). The icon periodically flows myrrh from the 19th century 2000. Individuals and entire pilgrimage groups testify that sometimes the eyes of the Mother of God appear as if alive: squinting or spreading wider. Such an unexpected occurrence was recorded on two occasions and in photographs.

Bow down to the Mother of God and go from all the corners of Russia and other countries. Our monastery is always for the sake of pilgrims. The miraculous icon “The Inexhaustible Chalice” is famous for the Swedish people with drug addiction, alcoholism and chicken who suffer from illnesses and major life problems. It is noted that the icon not only aims, but also helps to change the way of life of people who have gone astray, to bring them to awareness of their sins, to repentance and pious living.

Miracles from the icon “Inexhaustible Chalice”

Miracles are contained here - just a small testimony about the inexhaustible mercy of the Mother of God to the suffering and help and comfort of people. A great number of miracles have been recorded, and even more are unknown to anyone, because people are completely ungrounded in believing that as soon as they hear about healing, everything will turn back. Of course, it’s wrong! It is necessary to tell about miracles so that the name of God and the name of His Most Pure Mother - the Lady Theotokos - are glorified. Brothers and sisters, do not take advantage of God’s miracles; perhaps your message about healing will help other people find spiritual health and lead them to believe.

Health through drinking

Everyone wondered who could bring it, and they wondered at the dissatisfied celebrities.

* * * My son Evgen smokes and drinks heavily. I prayed for the prayer service to the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice.” The Psalter of the Forty was read at the women's monastery. Now, thank God, don’t burn and don’t sing.

* * * I, Mikola, live in the Tyumen region, Salekhard. I first heard about the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon in the “Selyanka” magazine. I developed an addiction to alcohol and smoking. I first arrived at the Vladitsky Vvedensky Women's Monastery in 2000, after which I did not drink. Then I greeted the troops. I was a teenager with a kokhanka, and it was important for me to make sure I didn’t drink it. After I tried Cahors, I began to increase the dose over the years and turned to excessive binges. Without anyone knowing, I drink next to my friends. I understand that I have returned to my past life: the reason is too much love. Having torn away all the hundred-year-olds from the kohanka, having ceased to welcome the squads, in 2002 the army once again arrived at your monastery. I was at the akathist “The Inexhaustible Chalice” and from that hour I developed a craving for alcohol and, I don’t know which is worse, smoking, since I suffered from smoking for more than 20 years. I got a little bit of color on my own, having lost 14 kg.

* * * Around the end of the summer of 2002, I and my sister, RB Tetyana, were at your monastery for a service on the Holy Mother of God. We stood at the service and at the prayer service to the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice”. We brought with us my sister’s son Oleksia, who at that time had drunk a lot of beer and was under investigation for the article “For the transfer of service obligations.” At the liturgy and at the prayer service, we tearfully asked Mother God to correct our dear nephew Oleksiy, to spare his fiancée, trial, trial and investigation. The trial was over 2.5 years ago, and we were all worried: whether to imprison or not to imprison, no matter what. And the Mother of God sensed us. Now the trial and investigation are over, and Oleksia is not singing. I thank the Lord for leading us through sorrows to faith. Holy Mother of the Lord, who senses us sinners and prays for us. God bless you, mother, for your work and your prayers. RB Marina, RB Tetyana.

* * * I, K. Olena, want to hear about the miracle that happened. My dad threw his drink. I haven’t eaten for almost a month now. I understand that the term is not big, but you need to know how my father drinks. He could not stop drinking every day. He has a very successful life: from a simple family, he graduated from school with a gold medal, graduated from the institute with a diploma in gold, and rose to the rank of colonel. In 1991, the hour of turmoil came, and everything in the state changed. Father appeared unneeded. I drink A little at first, and then more and more. The rest of the time I drink heavily every day. We came to the Vladichny Monastery on the 18th of May for the sanctuary of the icon of the Mother of God “The Cup that was not drunk.” After this, I started drinking less and stopped drinking completely the rest of the time. It was National Day, the 11th of March, and I was already afraid that he would get drunk, but only the Cahors dance that I had given to you was performed. This is a great relief for us, our relatives. And it’s the radium itself that’s amazing about it. 06/14/2000.

In advance, I will tell you and my sisters, I will entrust you with great thanks for your prayers for my son Alexander.

I learned about the grace-filled help of the icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice” from a TV program and began to pray for her and lament about the healing of my son. In the evening of 1996, fate first came to the Vladichny Monastery to pray before the miraculous icon. Praying for my son in my own words, I immediately began to wander and forget my sins, and this time my son became even stronger. Then I went to the priest’s church and to the Richkovovo railway station. I was told to prepare for a serious confession and to pray “The Cup, without being drunk.” After which I began to repent of my sins and ask for mercy on my child. On the 18th of May I was again in the monastery and prayed for the liberation of the son from the addiction of drunkenness. And from that hour I don’t sing. Today I came to the monastery to wash the magpie icon of the Mother of God “Inexhaustible Chalice”, to thank the Queen of Heaven for her troubles and mercy to the less sinful and to inform about the abbot of the monastery, Chernitsa Alexia ї.

Recovery from drug addiction

* * * Since 1994, I started using drugs. These fates have been celebrated. The doctors said that I was hopeless. It seemed that the chance to heal had been wasted for me. But after the birth of the Serpukhiv Women’s Monastery in 2001 and the akathist of the icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice”, with God’s help, I was able to overcome this fatal problem and passions. For two years now, I’ve been wondering the past few days about what kind of sleepless dream I had. Now I again had the opportunity to visit this monastery and visit the Mother of God. I also hope that she will help you to overcome the sin of the chicken. Rodion. m. Volzky. 2003 r.

* * * Write to you from Svetlana from the village of Pyatimorsk, Volgograd region. I'm just a little fan of you. Those sisters came back to you with their hardships, and the Lord, through your prayers, helped us. I want to tell you what happened with us. Mayu son of Artem (23 rocks). 2001 I became a drug addict. I was in awe, praying to the Lord in my own words. She shared her troubles with Father Gennady and Deacon Dionysius. They gave me the address of your Vladichny monastery. I wrote and started checking the news. In the few years since I removed the sheet, you have had a dream (it’s been a week and I have little time to go to church). I have always dreamed: to come before me, a woman, a garna and a strict one, with a red choice, on the head with red drops, smeared with a different dark khutra. He sits at the table, calls me to himself and extends his hand to me for a kiss. I was taken aback by her greatness and did not immediately kiss her hand, but out of my thoughts she said: “Bah, what a pride!” But I sensed her words and I felt sad that she knew about my proud thoughts. And then she stood up, took me by the hand and said to me: You will come with me now. And I went. I recognized the Mother of God from this woman. France gave me a sheet from your monastery. And early in the morning I knew for sure that I would be in Serpukhov at the Vladichny Monastery. I arrived to see you 10 days after my dream. Buv cob breast 2002 roku. At the monastery, I immediately learned a strong prayer for the synagogue and a prayer for the akathist. I already knew how to pray to the Lord for mercy on my son. I prayed while reading the akathist of the Most Holy Theotokos for 4 years a day and so 40 days after. For several nights I slept in the monastery church under the icons (then it was very cold in the cell, and you, mother, blessed me to sleep in the church). When I came back home, my son was no longer a drug addict. Until then, all the places where people were selling heroin to our children were closed. So the Lord is behind your prayers and has betrayed my son. With a great tribute to you, that sister of the monastery, Sister Svitlana.

Chicken health

* * * For a long time, I have been telling about the wonderful recovery from toothache that happened to me. She knew that chicken was a sin, but there was no way to quit. In breastfeeding 2002 At the Orthodox fair near Moscow, I added a brochure about the Vvedensky Vladichny Monastery of Women of Serpukhov. I learned about the Monk Varlaam and how he helped drive out the demon. And even an addiction to chicken is not only a sin, but a goddamn thing for us - reading the brochure, I realized. 31 June 2003 I arrived in Serpukhov to the Vvedensky Vladichny Women’s Monastery just before one o’clock, when the akathist was being read before the icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice”. In front of the tombstone of the Monk Varlaam, I asked the Rev. Father Varlaam to help me, including throwing fire. And during the hour of reading the akathist in front of the icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice,” I realized that drinking and chicken root (bis) are the only ones that captivate the will of people. And the human being is his mind, his will is not free, but is darkened by a demon. And I thought that the miraculous icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice” was helping me in the ritual kitchen. I bought a series of lamps representing 4 shrines: the miraculous icons “The Inexhaustible Chalice” and the “Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the Holy of Holies”, the tombstone of St. Varlaam and the sight of the myrrh-streaming Cross. She persuaded the forty to have the sisters read the psalms. That's why I left. One fierce hour after smoking a cigarette, I asked God to help me stop burning, and at night I anointed myself with olive oil. Whatever the case, I couldn’t tell or know! 8 fierce 2003r. I am reluctant to fall ill with the flu with a high fever and pain in all the cysts and pain in the muscles. Kozhen, who burns, knows that if a wine is poor, then his need for chicken changes. 11 fiercely I understand that the uncontrollable illness was given to me by God to help me throw fire. The body's need for nicotine has disappeared! For just the first few days, you’ve been thinking about chicken, but there’s no need for it. I realized that for those who really need to overcome sin and death, God will help you, just ask. And what a miracle you will feel if your mind is not gloomy and free! For all I care, I finished school well and all my life is clearly in front of me! I thought I read that faith brings healing - now I know for sure! I thank the Lord God, the Queen of Heaven for this and St. Barlaam for his prayers for us sinners, for the correction and healing that he gives us. I express my sincere gratitude to the sisters and to all the servants for the glory of our Lord at the Vvedensky Vladichny Monastery of Women. Serpukhov. I hope the monastery is prosperous and valuable. Reverend Varlaam, our father, pray for our souls to be saved! Marina. April 13, 2003 m Moscow.

* * * I, the servant of God Nina, would like to describe the miracle that happened to me after the opening of the Vladichny Monastery in Serpna 2000. I've been smoking for 50 years, I've been smoking for 10 years. I really wanted to quit, I applied myself to healers, paid great pennies, and also to holkotherapists. Since 1999, I go to the church in the village of Akulovo, Odintsovo district, to the spiritual father Igor. He then blessed me for a pilgrimage trip to Serpukhov to the icon of the Mother of God “Inexhaustible Chalice”. After the trip, I also read the akathist to the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice” at home for 40 days. I, by God’s grace, stopped smoking. And also for the prayers of the Mother of God. 05/19/2001.

Additional help at live food

* * * I, the servant of God Hann, want to tell you about the miraculous help of the Mother of God after praying before Her icon “The Inexhaustible Chalice”. I couldn’t sell the apartment, because I had lost my grandmother from the recession. The apartment was in the Urals, and I live in Moscow and I don’t think it’s possible to go there for a long time to start selling. To him I gave my aunt’s confidence. Several months have passed, but the place on the right has not collapsed. When I was in the vicinity of Optina Pustela in Moscow in the fall of 2002, a woman came up to me and said that in Serpukhov there was a miraculous icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice”, which is expected I will help not only in healing the ailment of alcoholism, but also helps with apartment catering. My son Anatoly and I went on the 7th of Wednesday to the women's monastery, said a prayer service, attended a prayer service with an akathist, took holy water, venerated the icon, and prayed for good health. Less than a month later, they called me from the Urals and said that they had bought my apartment. I told my friend that I couldn’t get rid of my big man and had to endure the pressure of another man. At the leaf fall we came with her to the monastery, I said the daily prayer service, and there it was. For example, the breast and nutrition were still going well.

* * * I, G.I.A., want to thank my friend “The Inexhaustible Chalice” for the assistance I received in exchange for an apartment. We got together with a lot of people, who were busy with idle things, not wanting to get out and exchange the apartment, but wanting to draw in the “black” information from the world. After arriving at the monastery, the food provided to the Mother of God was quick, and now we live with our daughter in our apartment with peace, love and kindness.

Other miracles

* * * In 2002, in the sickly month, I was on an excursion passing by the Serpukhov borough from the entrance halls of your monastery. At the hour of prayer in front of the icon of the “Inexhaustible Chalice”, I gave a vow that I would turn here with hoops as a sign of tribute for my family. Just after the river of 2003, everything became as it had been prayed for. And today, with Sergius, we are donating two betrothals and crosses to the icon. 11.01.04.

* * * On the 10th of 2002 - the day of the New Martyrs and the Russian Companions - an excursion from Tuli was coming. After the excursion we went to the church to the place of the appearance of the icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice”, the group stood in front of the doors to the church, while the image of the Mother of God was sleeping, three women from the group and a little girl I felt the warmth at my feet. Behind their words, it looked like they were standing on a hot battery.

Nina, I believe, to the divine and wonderful image of the Most Holy Mother of God, who will water the hearts of the faithful with the inexhaustible cup of His heavenly mercy and show the people of the faithful what is spiritually holy and the warmth of Thy mercy, Christ our God, and save our souls

Today the Orthodox Church has created the image of the Most Holy Theotokos “The Inexhaustible Chalice”.

This icon is one of the shrines of our temple; the paraphernalia of the Brotherhood of Faithfulness is named in its honor. The icon was painted in 2003 by the paraphian icon painter Oleksandr Sharov Kosht, elected by the Brotherhood of Hardiness. The image is of St. Nicholas, the Hieromartyr Charalampios, as well as the Martyr Onifatius and the Righteous John of Kronstadt.

Every week before the icon, parishioners read the akathist to the Mother of God and ask the saints for help with addictions and addictions; Isom “For Russia I stand.”

The icon of the Mother of God “Inexhaustible Chalice” is similar in iconography to the “Oranta” type - the Mother of God is depicted with raised hands, in front of Her is Bogonemovlya, standing by the chalice. This Cup of Communion is an incomparable source of spiritual joy and silence. The Most Holy Theotokos prays for all sinners and informs that an unprecedented Cup of heavenly help and mercy is prepared for every sufferer.

The appearance of these icons reflected the unprecedented spirit that began in 1878 in the Tula province. Any retired soldier who is obsessed will become addicted to drinking. He drank everything that was in him and quickly became married. Due to the addiction of alcohol, his legs went crazy, but he didn’t stop drinking and continued to drink. It seems like there was a great soldier, and a villager, having beaten the elder, who ordered him to go to the town of Serpukhiv to the monastery of the Lady of the Theotokos, where the icon of the Mother of God “Inexhaustible Chalice” was located, and to serve a prayer service in front of it. Without a penny, with his legs weak, the peasant could not set off on the road. Alas, the holy elder suddenly appears to him and sternly punishes him as he said. Rachki went as a substitute soldier to Serpukhov. In one of the villages, which were lying on the road, they stood up to make repairs. To ease the pain and suffering of Mandrivnikov, the lady-grandmother rubbed her legs and laid them on the bed. The next day, the soldiers felt better, but the gentleman was deprived of him for another night, again rubbing his aching legs. Spiraling on two, and then on one chain, the villager slowly made his way to Serpukhov.

At the Vladichny Monastery, they heard about their miraculous dream and asked to serve a prayer service before the icon of the Mother of God “The Cup that was not drunk.” Alas, the inhabitants of the monastery were upset: no one in the monastery knew such an icon. About an hour later they recognized the icon that was hanging in the passage from the church to the sacristy. On the gateway there is an inscription “The Inexhaustible Chalice”... In the special teaching of St. Alexis - the Venerable Varlaam - the villager immediately recognized the holy elder who had appeared in his dream. Back home from Serpukhov, the ex-soldier turned to be at peace with his addiction.

The news about the miraculous icon quickly spread throughout Russia. People who suffered during the feast, their relatives and relatives hastened to offer prayers to the Most Holy Theotokos for healing from illness, many of whom came after that, in order to offer the Lady for her great mercy .

The miraculous icon “The Inexhaustible Chalice” was kept at the Vladichny Monastery until 1919, and after its closure - at the Mikoli Bily Cathedral on Kaluzkaya Street. The further part of the icon is unknown.

In 1993, in the Serpukhiv Vysotsky Monastery, and in 1995, in the revived Vladichny Monastery, lists of the miraculous icon were compiled, while maintaining all the proportions and academic style characteristic of the original . All this became the beginning of the revival of the miraculous icon after the long history of theology.

Bow down to the icon of the Mother of God “Inexhaustible Chalice” from all corners of Russia and other countries. The miraculous icon is famous for the Swedish patients with drug addiction, alcoholism and chicken who suffer from the disease. It is noted that the icon not only serves a purpose, but also helps to change the way people live, bring them to awareness of their sins, repentance, and turn them to a pious life.

Unfortunately, it’s definitely not the same day when the icon was revealed. In the 19th century, the holy day in honor of the icon “Inexhaustible Chalice” was celebrated on the 27th leaf fall - one day with the icon of the Mother of God “The Banner”, which offended the icons similar to the iconography.

At the end of the 20th century, after the renewed veneration of the icon “Inexhaustible Chalice”, this holy day was dedicated to the day of repose of St. Varlaam of Serpukhov - 5 May (18 May according to the new style), fragments of the miracle-working icon were revealed through the representation of this saint.

The appearance of the saint to the image of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice” took place in 1878. One villager of the Ephraim district of the Tula province, a meritorious retired soldier, was obsessed with the addiction of drinking. He drank away his entire pension, everything he could find at his house, and went on to the end of his life. In view of the excessive drinking, the legs rose in the air, but they continued to chew the drink. And the axis of the man, who has already completely sank, seems to be in an unforeseen dream. The miraculous elder approaches and says: “Go to the place of Serpukhiv, to the monastery of the Virgin Mary. There is an icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice”, serve a prayer service in front of it and you will be healthy in soul and body.” Pennilessly penniless, with no energy on his feet, the peasant did not dare to go on the road. Alas, the holy elder, suddenly, meets and already on the table, grievously punishes the Vikonati order, that the unfortunate drunken crustaceans are heading towards the road. Having arrived at the monastery and confessed about their dream, they sadly asked to serve a prayer service in front of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon. No one in the monastery knew the icon of the Mother of God with this name. Who said: “Isn’t that the icon with the image of the bowl that hangs at the passage from the temple to the sacristy?” The icon was depicted on these walls and on the gateway they rightly bore the inscription: “The cup that has not been drunk.” The newly created image was transferred to the temple and a prayer service was held in front of it. And in the icon of the Venerable Varlaam of Serpukhov, the founder of the Vladichny Monastery, the villager learned about that noble elder who appeared to me in a dream and told me to find this icon. From Serpukhov's colossal drunkenness he returned to full health. Having given up wine as a cure for sick legs, most importantly, we have ceased to feel the incessant craving for wine. The news about the miracle glorification of the icon of the Mother of God quickly spread in Serpukhov. In the center of the city, at the temple of the noble Prince Alexander Nevsky, the Oleksandro-Nevsky Brotherhood of Hardiness was created. Every week, at the hour of the great gathering of people, prayer services were held in front of the icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice”, which ended with moral discussions. Themselves, obsessed with addiction to drinking, their relatives and loved ones hastened to present their prayers to the Mother of God for healing from illness, and moreover, they came already in order to receive the Heavenly Volodar. The iconography of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon is followed by one of the most recent types of images of the Mother of God, which is called “Oranta”, or “Praying” - when the Mother of God is depicted with raised hands. In Russian tradition, this iconography gave rise to the name “Banner”. The importance of the icon is that the image of God is not in the hands of the Blessed Virgin, but standing at the Chalice.

The holy icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice”18 from Serpukhov attracts a lot of guests. Carry out local services and prayers. Beyond the scale of the holy day, this day became a day of misfortune. On such a day there is a feeling of honor, unity, joy and hope. The procession begins after a prayer service in front of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon at the Vysotsky Monastery of Women and walks through the place to the Vladichny Monastery of Women. There are two miraculous icons hanging there. Another prayer service will be served and everything will take place under the icon, which is a special blessing for this single day of fate. Carrying children, sick people, people bow to the image of the Mother of God, hoping for healing.

This icon especially helps those who suffer from addiction to wine drinking, and now to YouTube addiction, drug addiction, and gambling addiction. In the Church, staleness due to addictions is called obsession. People themselves are often unable to overcome obsession, so people go for help to monasteries and churches - to miraculous icons and relics of saints, to stand at special prayer services. Everyone knows about the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon - both believers and non-believers. It turns out that people come to God without pushing their passions to the limit. And the journey is both long and difficult.

The veneration of the miraculous image took place in the Serpukhiv Vladichny Monastery of Women in 1878, when the peasants of the Tula province of the Ephraim District, the ex-soldier Prokhor, and the bitter drunkard, came to the monastery. Arrived there after the appearance of St. Varlaam of Serpukhov. Vikl. Varlaam said to him: “Go to Serpukhiv, to the Vladitsky Monastery, there is the Icon of the Mother of God “Inexhaustible Chalice”, serve a prayer service before it and you will be healthy in soul and body.” Everything happened as the reverend had shouted. Varlaam - a soldier who was healed both in soul and in body.

At the end of the 20th century, when the icon “Inexhaustible Chalice” was revived, its holy day was dedicated to the day of the repose of St. Varlaam of Serpukhov - the 18th of May, and the icon was revealed through the representation of this saint.

The miraculous icon “The Inexhaustible Chalice” is famous for the Swedish people with drug addiction, alcoholism and chicken who suffer from illnesses and major life problems. It is noted that the icon not only aims, but also helps to change the way of life of people who have gone astray, to bring them to the knowledge of their sins. In both the Visotsky and Vladichny monasteries there are icons of the “Inexhaustible Chalice”, and in both monasteries the stench of miracles of help and healing is revealed. Records are kept there about ways to help people through this miraculous image.

May 23 The Orthodox Church means sacredly, as they have always loved in Russia - the Day of the Holy Trinity of Pentecost. The Trinity is a very sacred garne. Budins and churches are decorated with gilts, grass, and flowers. And it’s not a bad thing. Greenery and flowers symbolize life. That is why the color of the Holy Trinity is emerald green. Hundreds of birch needles carry paraffins to the temples, as a result they are thickly covered with grass. The candles are no longer red, but yellow – “Great Day of Giving”...

The Holy Trinity was established at the end of the 4th century after the dogma of the Trinity was officially adopted by 381 people at a church council in Constantinople. God is one in three guises - this is a mystery, undefeated by the human mind. A special iconography of the Holy Trinity was formed, which is now divided into two types. The Trinity of the Old Testament is familiar to all of us through the familiar icon of Andriy Rublyov, where God is depicted in the form of three angels who appeared to Abraham. Icons of the New Testament Trinity and images of God - Father in the form of an old man, Jesus Christ, as the Son of God, the right hand of the new, and the Holy Spirit above them in the form of blue.

The Holy Trinity bury itself in the image of the Holy Sepulchre. This is Trinity Saturday - one of the four holy memorial days on the river, then Trinity Week itself, as well as the Spiritual Day that follows.

On the fiftieth day after the resurrection from the dead and on the tenth day after the ascension, Jesus Christ sent the Comforter - the Holy Spirit - to the apostles. The Holy Church of Sion, in the sight of the Holy Spirit in the sight of the blazing apostles, became the first Christian temple, and the day of the coming of the Holy Spirit became the day of the founding of the New Testament Church on earth.

On the Holy Trinity, we traditionally reach the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. It feels especially sacred there. Christmastide services are held at all the monastery churches, decorated with birch trees. It’s not for nothing that the Trinity is called “green Christmastide”. At the Trinity Cathedral, held at the same place where the first church was founded in the 14th century by St. Sergius of Radonez, the Divine Liturgy is celebrated by the Patriarch himself. In Russia, the day of the Holy Trinity began to be celebrated not immediately after the baptism of Russia, but perhaps 300 years later, in the 14th century, for the Venerable Sergius of Radonez. The first wooden church founded by St. Sergius in a remote forest and dedicated to the Holy Trinity of Life-Giving.

At the Pokrovsky Women's Monastery in the village of Lukino, Nizhny Novgorod region, near the church of many fateful figures, myrrh flowed not only from icons, including from Paper, but from the walls of the temple itself.

Two holy jerels were restored there - the Miraculous Icon of the Mother of God “The Joy of All Sorrowful Ones” and the Holy jelly in honor of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos.

One is near the church, the other is near the forest. Their water cures a lot of illnesses, and sometimes helps to treat cancer patients. After the service you can talk with the spiritually enlightened shepherd schema-monk Fr. Peter.

Prayer

Oh, most merciful to the Lady! We come to Your intercession, do not ignore our prayers, but graciously sense us: wives, children, mothers; And the grave illness of drunkenness of those possessed, and for the sake of our mother - the Church of Christ and the salvation of those who fall, brothers and sisters, and our relatives.

The Orthodox faith has a lot of struggles with feasting, and the Church has accumulated a lot of evidence about this. Most importantly, in order to get rid of the drink, you need to pray in front of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon, which has helped and continues to help believers in this matter.

History of the icon

The story of the icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice” came together quite unexpectedly and finally ended. At the end of the 19th century, not far from Tuli (in the Efremivsky district) a villager is alive. Having arrived from the royal army, they began to drink heavily. And I drank so much beer that I had drunk everything until I was tired and there was nothing left for life. There was no sign of ale at the plant - the beer was gone, the illness progressed. After an hour, the villager got so drunk that his legs were weak and he became indestructible. It didn’t bother me to throw the vile sound - it was trival to drink wine.

Allegedly, he slept and dreamed of an old man who had been born into fate and said that the peasant should go to the place of Serpukhiv and find a monastery there called Vladichny. Having said that, there hangs an icon called the “Inexhaustible Chalice”, a prayer is read in front of it to the vile vile chalice until it is drunk again. A great soldier, having deprived this sleep, stood with respect and did not hasten to withdraw the recommendation. However, the vision of the old man continued into other nights, and after the third dream of his lot, he thought that it was time to listen.

The villager flew to Serpukhov. My legs couldn’t hear me at all and I couldn’t walk, so the ex-soldier kept shoving his feet all the way. We walked for a long time and a long time through the deserted villages, where we decided to spend the night. One day a villager was fasted by a frail woman and she became so sick that she tried to help him. Having rubbed the mandarin’s feet with the miraculous ointment, the old woman allowed him to stand on his feet and complete the journey on his own feet.

At that time, the icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice” was unknown to anyone, and the Chinese spent an hour searching. Found there on the wall near the passage. If the villager stood before the image and offered a prayer, he was prompted to drink alcohol. And having reached the shrine of St. Barlaam, the heavy drinker recognized the same old man who was in his dreams. A feeling about the icon, how to create a miracle, the mittevo widened.

In this manner, the icon “The Inexhaustible Chalice” moved from the corridor to the temple and began to help people relieve themselves of staleness. People came to this monastery from various corners of Russia only in order to overcome drinking and alcoholism themselves and to help their friends and loved ones with the ritual.

Many believers prayed before the image, and the Mother of God helped them. The miraculous icon “The Inexhaustible Chalice” is especially daring, with this order to stop the carnage of insanity, and without it, believers often refuse to go berserk on their own.

What does the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon help with?

The icon depicts the Virgin Mary Oranta - that is the name of the image, where the Mother of God is not in a sitting position, resting in the arms of the little Christ, but standing with her hands raised high to the sky, offering a sinful prayer.

In this manner, the sacred significance of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” icon lies in prayer for people before the Lord

Apparently, with His will, rich things can happen and greater things can be found, and if the Mother of God asks the Lord for His child, blessings are received in a special manner and hopes are surprisingly richer.

There is one interesting detail in the description of the icon “The Incredible Cup” (as it is also called) – the Goddess, as depicted in the shape of a medallion on the chest, here it is placed in a goblet or other similar vessel. This very icon against drinking is different from other canonical images of Orant.

The icon is located at the Vysotsky Monastery, which decided to hold a prayer service and akathist after the end of the liturgy. After completion, the names of those willing to drink are read. Obviously, in other Russian churches this akathist is read in the same way. Likewise, prayer to the image can be done independently, since many people hang the image of the “Inexhaustible Chalice” in one’s everyday life in order to heal from addictions.

Prayer icon “Inexhaustible Chalice”

In order to speed up the process, many believers and sufferers come to the Serpukhov Monastery to take part in the prayer of this day.

Amen.
