Commemorated on September 23
The
Slovenka Icon of the Mother of God manifested itself on September 23,
1635 at the village of Slovenka, Kostroma district. A certain hunter
while hunting by chance discovered a small rickety church, overgrown
with moss. He went inside and saw that all the church utensils had
rotted with time, except for the altar icon of the Mother of God, which
was perfectly unharmed. A monastery was afterwards built at this place.
