Miraculous icon "Inexhaustible Chalice"
"Inexhaustible Chalice": glorification
Information about it spread after an event that occurred with a peasant from the Tula province. The retired soldier quickly became a bitter drunkard. On vodka he exchanged everything he had, because of alcohol his legs were cut off. But this did not stop the peasant. He continued to drink until the old man appeared to him in a dream with a command to go to Serpukhov, to find in the monastery of the Lady of the Theotokos the icon "Inexhaustible Chalice" and serve a moleben before her. He crawled to the city on all fours. The icon was found hanging in the passage from the sacristy to the temple. As a result, the peasant returned to his county absolutely healthy. And the rumor about the glorification of this icon went all over Russia. Both the drunkards and their relatives came to the monastery to ask the Mother of God for help and to thank for the favor.

And during the final prayer there is a listing of the names of those who suffer from alcoholism and need the help and grace of the Lady.
