About the icon :
Not far from Kharkiv, the Preobrazhensky Kuryazhsky monastery kept a miraculous image of the mother of God Ozeryanskaya. According to legend, the image was revealed at the end of the XVI century near the village of Ozeryany-hence the name of the icon; later on this place there was a monastery, also called Ozeryansky.

They say that a Ukrainian peasant mowed the grass and cut the image of the mother of God in half with a scythe... Realizing that his act, even if not premeditated, is terrible for him and for others, the man picked up two halves of the icon, placed it reverently in his prayer corner, lit a candle in front of it, and in the morning found the icon intact, leaving only a thin trace of dissection.
The icon still has a huge, miraculous power.
