The icon "Redeemer from troubles" is named so because the suffering lay people come to her with prayers, who turn to the Mother of God with requests for healing. The story of the appearance of the icon began in 1917, when on the eve of terrible events in the life of the country, the Mother of God showed her mercy in the small village of Tashla, wanting to help people overcome terrible trials. In the indicated place, a water stream began to beat, which throughout the entire existence healed hundreds of people.
The history of the miraculous icon
On October 8, 1917, cellwoman Katerina dreamed of the Mother of God and showed where the miraculous icon is located underground. The girl woke up her friends and shared a story about the vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Together they went to the shallow ravines at the end of the village and, with the laughter of their fellow villagers, began digging the ground in the right place. What was the surprise of the people when they took out an icon from under the layer of the earth, and in that place a spring hit it!
The first healing occurred immediately after the discovery, when they brought the icon to the Trinity Church in the village of Tashla. A woman who was sick for a long time and suffered from constant weakness in her body accidentally touched the icon, and she immediately felt much easier. She felt extraordinary vivacity throughout the body. After that, the miraculous icon was brought to the temple and laid on a lectern so that the laity would come and ask for the mercy and blessing of the Mother of God. However, the icon soon disappeared from the church, appearing in front of people only in December in a ravine, at its original location. After that, it was already saved in the temple. The icon in the village of Tashla is stored to this day. At the place where they found it, a convent was built.
Holy spring
In the place where under the ground was the holy icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the source scored. People came to him, bathed in water and were healed of diseases. At the time of the dominance of atheism and the total struggle of the Communists with religion, the authorities ordered to bury the source. In the place where the healing spring beat, a garbage dump was formed and a farmyard with a bunch of manure was built. But the water found a way near the original place.
Later, when the Great Patriotic War began, people were in dire need of God and comfort. The authorities allowed the resumption of worship and opened a holy spring. Now a chapel has been built next to it, baths and a well have been dug for all the suffering and those who wish to bathe in holy waters. Crowds of pilgrims visit holy places and springs every year. Many reviews were written from people who have received healing from their illness.
Processions with the icon
From the moment the shrine was found, religious processions took place every year.
