Life
In the Volhynian province there is the renowned monastery of the Holy Theotokos in Pochayiv, where the Holy Mother of God first appeared around the year 1340 to one of two monks who were practicing asceticism in a cave there. From that time that place became an inexhaustible source of numerous miracles.
