He addressed a prayer to the Mother of God, depicted on it, a certain peasant from Tula, already half paralyzed due to excessive exuberance with alcohol. After the prayer, he not only stopped feeling craving for alcohol, but also began to move normally. The icon began to be considered miraculous and relieving from such vices as narcomania, drunkenness, smoking. During the years of the Revolution and the Civil War, the original of this miraculous icon was lost, but it was found again and is now in a small monastery in the city of Serpukhov, near Moscow. In other churches there are lists from it, which are also called the "Inexhaustible Chalice". It depicts the Mother of God, in front of which there is a bowl with the inscription "I am the true vine," from which the figure of the infant Jesus rises. In the monastery church in Serpukhov, before the icon "The Inexhaustible Chalice" is always a lot of people - this is the last hope of alcoholics and drug addicts, their friends and relatives. They ask the Mother of God to help get rid of this addiction. Finding faith in God, people acquire faith and in themselves, which gives them the strength to stop destroying their lives and the lives of their loved ones. This is also a kind of miracle, and who created it - an icon or a person's faith, it does not matter.
