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.
