Assumption of Holy Virgin Source

Temple , Natural object

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.
