SURETY OF SINNERS

ICON OF THE MOTHER OF GOD - "SURETY OF SINNERS" The icon is named Surety of Sinners due to the visible lettering on the original icon, which reads “A surety of sinners to My Son…” In 1843 many residents near the St Nicholas-Odrino Monastery saw in a vision that that it was a miracle working icon and afterwards brought it into the main church.
