The service was headed by the Head of the Baltic Diocese, His Eminence Alexei, Archbishop of Baltsky and Ananievsky.

Here is the icon of the Mother of God Osichanskaya, which became famous as a miraculous 1848. Then the head of the military settlements, Colonel Mikhail Petrovich Zverev, ordered to destroy the clay church of the Transfiguration and transfer the image to the village of Savran. The icon was returned to Osichka, because a serious illness - blindness - was sent to the official. This was a sign from the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Before returning the icon to the village of Osichka, at the request of Colonel Zverev, a prayer service was given to the Mother of God, the dignitor perceived and gave a vow to build a new temple, the bookmark of which was completed in 1848, and consecrated in 1851.

In front of the image pray for the gift of sight.

In the 60s of the twentieth century Communists destroyed the temple. Local villagers took care of the shrine. In 2008, an exact copy of the icon was written.

For the first time during the years of independence of our state, on this historic day after the Divine Liturgy, before the holy Ukrainian people, the prayer was read to the bishop, because in the godless times the icon disappeared.

Archpriest Dimitri Garchuk presented the text of the Akathist written in the Church Slavonic language in a verse form glorifying the Mother of God and her intercession in the miraculous image of Osichanskaya, for the sake of the future liturgical use of the UOC.
