The chapel itself is small, located above the arch at the gate. Inside there is a miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary, known as the Mother of God of Ostrobramskaya. Both Catholics and Orthodox come to the icon, it is equally revered by them. The place is very popular and prayerful, there is always a line and a lot of people. This icon is unusual - the Virgin Mary is depicted alone without the baby Jesus, and her arms are crossed on her chest. Around the icon there is a huge number of gifts: crosses, medals, hearts. These offerings mean healing and the fulfillment of the desires of believers. Many women go to the icon to ask the Virgin Mary for the gift of children. For me, this place is significant - at that time my desire to have children was very great, and exactly six months after visiting the holy place, I became pregnant, and our first child was born : )
