In Yaroslavl, a woman named Alexandra Dobychkina suffered for 17 years with a terrible illness: At first she had to endure depression, and then to suffer aching pain in her hands and in all of her joints, which caused her to scream in agony. In 1823, she had a dream in which she saw a certain church and, in it, an Icon of the Mother of God. Later, she went from church to church, looking everywhere for such a church. Finally she came to the Yaroslavl diocesan center. Here, near the bell-tower, she saw the church of the Procession of the Most-Precious Cross, and recognized it to be the church she had seen in her dream. She entered the church with a feeling of joyous anticipation, and as soon as she had seen, written on the wall, the Caves Icon of the Mother of God, she was suddenly thrown to the floor, her entire body in convulsions. Upon coming to herself, she experienced the distinct hope that she would receive from the Icon of the Mother of God which she had seen in her dream healing from the ills which had beset her for many years. The next day, she again visited this church. Fervently praying before the Icon, she attempted to venerate it, but suddenly felt within herself some kind of strange and powerful movement. At that moment, she received complete healing from her sickness. From that point, through the grace of the Mother of God, countless miracles began to flow from the Icon to all who run to her with faith.
