Icon of the Blessed Virgin The Inexhaustible Chalice is revered from the end of the 19th century. The original of this image was miraculously acquired in the Vvedensky Vladychny monastery of Serpukhov. This monastery was founded by Saint Alexis, Metropolitan of Kiev. According to the legend, a peasant from the Tula province, who was overcome by the ailment of drunkenness and problems with his legs, appeared in the dream an old man from the attire of a convict and ordered him to go to the Serpukhov monastery and serve a moleben at the icon The Inexhaustible Chalice.
When the peasant on his knees came to the monastery and told him about his vision, it turned out that the nun knew nothing about such an icon. And only after careful searches the icon was found. As it turned out, the elder, who appeared to the peasant, turned out to be an elder Varlaam - the builder of the monastery. When the moleben was served, the man got rid of cravings for alcohol and healed the sick legs.
Since then, miracle-working icons have been used to heal various diseases, but those who are most in need of abandoning drunkenness. Unfortunately, in the late 1920s the Soviet government destroyed the original of the miraculous image, and the monastery was closed. However, according to several lists that were made before the persecution, in the early 90's the icon was restored The Inexhaustible Chalice. Now in Serpukhov there are two lists of this image. Molebens are regularly performed before them and the streams of pilgrims from all countries flock to them.
