No one knows what the painter created an icon called "the inexhaustible Cup", and when it happened, but a famous icon not so long ago, in 1878.
This image belongs to the iconographic type of the Orans: the mother of God is depicted with upraised in prayer hands and Jesus is the baby standing before her in the bowl, stretching out his arms in a gesture of blessing.
About the finding of the miraculous icon in 1878 he described in 1910 Elizabeth – nun Vvedensky Vladychny monastery, which is located in the city of Serpukhov (Moscow region). The name of the icon associated not only with the bowl shown, but with the history of the discovery.

In his old age came to extreme poverty, and because of constant drinking can't feel my legs. And there appeared to him in a dream the old man, which he commanded to go in Vvedensky vladychny monastery, and there to serve a moleben before the icon of the Mother of God "inexhaustible chalice". The farmer was in no hurry to do his bidding – he couldn't walk, and there was no money, but the old man had appeared to him twice, all the more menacingly repeating the order. In the end, this poor man, somehow moving on all fours, went to Serpukhov.
It was hard to get to the monastery, but still he managed to do it, that's just about the icon with the same name nobody knew. Still the words of the farmer to be taken seriously, examined all of the icons, which were just in the monastery, and on the back of one of them, which hung in the passage from the Cathedral into the sacristy, found the inscription, "the inexhaustible chalice".
Before the icon, served a moleben. The farmer not only healed from paralysis, but quit drinking. Instead of the inexhaustible chalice of sin and drunkenness of this man were granted to "the inexhaustible chalice" of the grace of God.
