General information about Rizhky

The village of Rizhky is located between Tarashcha and highway M-05 (E-95) "Kyiv - Odesa".

It was first mentioned in 1744. According to legend, the village was founded by Zaporizhzhia Cossacks who settled on the banks of the Zhyhalka River, in its bend ("corner").

In 1848, the stone church of Saint Luke was built. In 1984, the temple was destroyed, and in its place in 1992 a new church was built. The miraculous icon of the Mother of God of Rizhky is preserved in the church.

The village is also known for its healing spring, which is considered to be the place where the Virgin Mary appeared.

The healing spring is located on a meadow in a forest grove on the eastern outskirts of the village of Rizhky.

According to legend, the spring was discovered at the end of the 19th century. They began to regard him as a saint after one of the local residents saw the phenomenon of the Virgin bathing as the source.

Before the Bolshevik coup of 1917, the source of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was a place of mass pilgrimage, as the fame of the healing properties of its water spread. Eyewitnesses said that after praying and drinking this water, people regained their sight, "revived" their legs, etc. During Soviet times, the source was repeatedly tried to be destroyed, but local residents restored it each time.

The water from the spring is extremely clean and saturated with silver, as it breaks through rare siliceous-silver rocks.

On holidays and Sundays, religious services are held near the Rizhky spring.
