OUR LADY OF Pochayiv

Our Lady miraculously saved a Ukrainian city in the 17th century when the local people joined together in prayer.

Throughout history, when a war erupts, people turn to prayer. Such was the case in Pochayiv, Ukraine, when an army came to invade a city.

In this city there is a miraculous icon of the Theotokos, having its origin in the 12th century.

In the 17th century, an army threatened to wipe out everyone in the city.

The University of Dayton's Marian Library explains how the local inhabitants turned to Our Lady of Pochayiv for protection.

It is another example of how God can intervene in such horrible events, especially when the people join together in prayer.

Our Lady of Pochayiv, pray for Ukraine!
