During the Soviet persecution of Greek Catholics, the monastery was closed, the churches were destroyed, but the local residents saved the icon and continued worshiping underground. Only the village church of the Holy Trinity, in which the icon is now kept, has survived.

Now the shrine has been revived, it is a significant center of pilgrimage for Greek Catholics.

Маленьке село Зарваниця між Теребовлею, Підгайцями та Бучачем є головним духовним центром греко-католиків.

Старовинний переказ пов'язує заснування села з явищем Божої Матері уві сні київському ченцеві, який инився в цих краях. Прокинувшись, він побачив джерело та ікону Діви Марії. Місце, де його "зарвав" (тобто, здолав) сон, монах назвав Зарваницею. Згодом тут виник монастир.

Перша письмова згадка про Зарваницю датується 1458 роком, коли тут існував оборонний замок. Кілька разів село розоряли татари. Найбільшого розквіту монастир, а з ним і село Зарваниця, досягли в XIX столітті.

За часів радянських гонінь на греко-католиків монастир був закритий, храми знищені, однак місцеві жителі врятували ікону і продовжили богослужіння в підпіллі. Збереглася тільки с ...

Зараз святиня відроджена, вона є значним найбільшим центром паломництва греко-католиків.

Marian Spiritual Center

Temple

The Marian spiritual center in Zarvanytsia is the main shrine of the Greek Catholics of Ukraine.

A folk tale tells about a Kyiv monk to whom the Virgin Mary appeared in a dream and ordered him to found a monastery. At this place, a healing spring flowed and an icon of the Mother of God appeared, which was named Zarvanytsia. At the same time, a cave monastery was founded.

It is believed that the first church in Zarvanytsia was built in the 13th century by Prince Vasylko Terebovlyansky after his miraculous healing.

The written mention of the monastery dates back to 1458. In the 17th century, the Tatars destroyed the monastery several times, but the miraculous icon was preserved.

In 1754, Count Myonchynskyi rebuilt the Holy Trinity Church, which has survived to this day (it now houses the icon of the Mother of God of Zarvanytska). In 1867, Pope Pius IX crowned the Zarvanytsia icon, after which the monastery became a major center of pilgrimage.

During the Soviet rule, the monastery was razed to the ground, but local residents managed to save the icon. Until 1988, religious services were conducted secretly. Only in 1991 did the revival of the shrine begin.

On the slope of the mountain near the Strypa River, the majestic Cathedral of the Mother of God of Zarvanytsia with a four-tiered bell tower 75 meters high was built. Nearby - the gate church, the chapel above the spring and the singing field.
