The radiant nimbus of the Mother of God, the monogram MP OY in the upper part of the border, which is an abbreviation of the Greek words MHTHP OEOY - Mother of God. In the lower part, explanatory inscriptions in Cyrillic with the date 1739, and the emblem of the Russian Empire. According to legend, the icon appeared in the 17th century to the priest Basil Daniel. On July 2, 1739, he was supposed to go to the garden to mow the grass and find a shining icon in it, which he took home. Three years later, in a dream, Danilov saw the Mother of God, who ordered him to wash the icon and store the water as it was supposed to have healing powers.
