About the icon
of Mother of God" Kazanskaya"
This
story happened in 1579. Once the nine-year girl, who lived in Kazan, the
daughter of a rifleman, dreamed in her sleep that Mother of God told
her, that there was the working wonders icon under the ruins of the
burnt house, and she had to dig it out. No one believed the story of
girl, but that dream went on and on, and then Matrena herself started to
dig out ruins and she actually found the icon. It is remarkable, that
the first priest, who took sacred thing from the hands of child, was the
Moscow supreme pontiff to be - Ermogen, one of the most famous saints of
the Russian Orthodox Church. Soon icon worked the first miracles
(healings). Then on the spot it was found the monastery was raised (by
the way, in this monastery Matrena afterwards took the veil). In XVII
century the copy from the wonder-working Kazan' icon was made for
Moscow, and this icon twice saved the capital from the enemies and gave
victory to Russians. There are copies of Kazan' icon in Petersburg and
in some other cities. Today the existing copies from the Kazan' icon are
honored in Moscow, Kazan and Petersburg, and also - Yaroslavl, Vyaznikov,
Nizhnelomovskiy, Tobol'skiy, Kaplunovskiy, Tambovskiy, Vysochinovskiy,
