- Once upon a time, around 1878, a rather strange case occurred in the Tula province. There was already an elderly man, respected in his youth, lived there at that time. At that time, the man was tormented by a passion for alcohol. Despite his age, the man drank all his money, savings, endured everything that was in the house, just to please himself with another bottle.
- As a result, his legs refused, he was weakened, but he did not abandon the pernicious habit. One of the restless nights, the man saw a dream in which the monk turned to him. The Schimnik told the pensioner to go to the city of Serpukhov, to the monastery of the Lord of the Virgin and to serve in front of the icon “Inexhaustible Chalice” of a prayer service. This, according to the monk, was supposed to restore strength and health to a very weak person.
- Based on his condition, the pensioner refused to think about some trip, and he had no money for this. However, the elder again and again came to his dreams and already ordered a trip to make a trip with a more formidable voice. Then the sick elderly man firmly decided to get into that monastery and literally crawled to him on all fours.
- In one of the villages that crawled, he asked for help. The old woman responded to this request, who out of pity, lost her legs and put him to rest on the stove. He stayed with the old woman for 2 days and during this time his condition improved significantly, his legs began to go, and the retired soldier again hit the road.
- Arriving at the monastery, he talked about his dreams and asked to serve a prayer service in front of the icon "Unfinished bowl." However, such a request was surprised by the ministers of the monastery, because they did not understand what kind of icon they were talking about. And only after some time, someone in the monastery suggested that this icon could be the one that hangs on the aisle to the room in which different church utensils are stored. When the monks took the alleged icon in their hands and looked at its opposite side, they were surprised, because there was written "Unfinished Cup." So the icon appeared before people.
- Returning from a trip, earlier a drinking man completely healed both his soul and body. It was after this incident that the icon gained its recognition and, so to speak, popularity.
- A huge number of people who suffered from alcohol, relatives of such people began to come to the monastery to bow to the icon and ask for help or thank it for it.
- Further, the fate of the icon took shape in different ways, it was moved, restored, etc. But people still worship it and pray to her about the health of those who suffer from detrimental habits.
