Icon "The Deliverer from the Troubles" in Saratov during the procession

The icon "the Deliverer from troubles" is named so because to it come with pleading suffering laymen who address to the Mother of god with requests for healing. The history of the appearance of the icon began in 1917, when the Mother of God showed her mercy in the small village of Tashla on the eve of the terrible events in the life of the country, wishing to help people overcome the terrible trials. In this place, a stream of water began to be beaten, which for all of its existence healed hundreds of people.

The history of the miraculous icon

On October 8, 1917, the Mother of God dreamed of Kateryna, and she showed where the miraculous icon is located beneath the earth. The girl woke her friends and shared a story about the vision of the Blessed Virgin. Together they went to shallow ravines at the end of the village and, under the laughter of fellow villagers, began digging the earth in the right place. Imagine the surprise of people when an icon was extracted from under the earth's layer, and a spring was found on that spot!

The first healing occurred immediately after the find, when they carried an icon to the Trinity Church in the village of Tashla. A woman, long ill and suffering from constant weakness in her body, accidentally touched the icon, and she immediately felt much easier. She felt extraordinary cheerfulness throughout the body. After that, the miraculous icon was brought to the temple and placed on the anal, so that the laity would come and ask the Mother of God for mercy and blessing. However, the icon soon disappeared from the church, appearing on people's eyes only in December in a ravine, on the site of its original location. After that, I was already in the temple. The icon in the village of Tashla is kept till now. On the place where it was found, a women's monastery was built.

Holy spring

In the place where the holy icon of the Blessed Virgin was under the earth, the source was hammered. People came to him, bathed in water and were healed of illnesses. In times of domination of atheism and total communists' struggle with religion, the authorities were ordered to bury the source. At the place where the healing spring was beaten, a garbage dump was formed and a farmyard with a heap of manure was built. But the water found a way out near the original place.

Later, when the Great Patriotic War began, people were in dire need of God and consolation. Authorities allowed to resume worship and opened a holy spring. Now near to it the chapel is constructed, bathing places and a well are dug for all suffering and wishing ablutions in sacred waters. Crowds of pilgrims visit holy places and spring every year. Many reviews are written from people who have been healed of their illness.
