This Icon id From Ukraine Ozeryanskaya Icon of the Mother of God
There is a village called Nizhnya Ozeryana in the eastern part of today’s Ukraine. It is located to the west of the town called Merefa, Kharkiv Oblast. There is a river called the Ozeryanka, which gave the village and the icon, which appeared here, their names.
Not far from Kharkov, in the Transfiguration Kuryazh Monastery, the wonderworking Ozeryana Icon of the Mother of God was kept. The Icon appeared at the end of the XVI century during Tatar raids on Ukraine near the village of Ozeryana - hence the name of the Icon. It is thought that the Icon was brought to Ukraine from beyond the Dnieper, that is, from Galicia. Later, a Monastery was built on this site, which was also called Ozeryana. Many miracles occurred before the Icon at the Ozeryana Hermitage. But despite this, no one knew just who put the Icon in the Monastery's trapeza church.
The Ozeryana Icon is also commemorated on April 23 (movable Feast). The Troparion and Kontakion are the same as those for the Jerusalem Icon (October 12).
The faithful people from the whole city of Kharkov and its neighboring settlements came there to venerate the miraculous icon. Many of the afflicted people were cured after they had prayed wholeheartedly in front of the icon.
