About three hundred kilometers from him at that time lived in one of the ordinary Russian villages peasant (unfortunately his name is lost) – a former soldier who gave serving the fatherland 25 years and now in solitude passing the rest of his years. No, of course, and former soldiers in this case they found widows and then even had children and peacefully led a peasant farm. But this … began to get drunk – to whom such do you need a host?
A man drank and could not stop. Even when he his legs were taken away, he continued to drink the bitter and no longer hoped for death, which, as they say in Russia, and humpback fix. But one night a former soldier had a dream an amazing dream, and so obvious, as if it were not a dream. TO an old man with a long gray beard and wise eyes appeared to him, and this holy man ordered him to go to the city of Serpukhov – in the temple of the Vysotsky Monastery, in order to perform a prayer service there in front of the icon “Inexpressible chalice”, after which the curse will be lifted from the drunkard, and he will be freed from his burden.

AND then a drunkard, one morning he nevertheless went to the monastery, and went on all fours and without any hope to crawl to distant Serpukhov (and the former soldier didn’t have money for the cab It was).
That is, the peasant practically had no access to the monastery chances. However, already in the neighboring village, to which he crawled, his sheltered a compassionate herbalist – she put it again on legs, rubbing them with medicinal infusions. After that, the man is already without any problems reached Serpukhov, where he found the temple he needed and asked his ministers to let him perform a prayer service before icon “Inexpressible Chalice”. However, the monks were extremely surprised at this the request of the parishioner, because they did not know and did not even hear about like an icon.
However, when the former soldier told them about his grief and his amazing dreams, the monks began to search for the alleged icon in their storerooms and, indeed, in one of the aisles of the temple found the icon of the Virgin Mary, completely invisible and from nowhere, on the back of which was the inscription – “Inexpressible bowl.” Having held a prayer service in front of her with the participation of a “lost Christian souls, “they healed the former soldier from drunkenness – once and forever and ever.
