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,
Vyshenskiy, Bogorodsko-Ufimskiy.
