Inexhaustible Chalice

This icon is a copy of the Neupivaemaya Chasha, a Russian work that revealed itself in a convent at Serpukhov in 1878. Discovered by a peasant suffering from alcoholism and the nuns he sought out for help, the icon quickly gained popularity with those struggling to overcome addictions. The icon depicts Mary and Jesus with hands raised in prayer and represents how God's intercession can fill the spirit and provide resilience against the difficult disease of substance abuse.
