Many years have passed since the death of the blessed one, and the memory of “Mother Euphrosyne,” as she was and is called in the area, is alive among the surrounding population “to this day.” Already from the day of the blessed death of the old woman, admirers of her memory began to go to her resting place; from year to year there were more and more of them. With ardent faith in the prayerful intercession of “Mother Euphrosyne” before God, they went to her wretched grave with their spiritual needs, brought their grief here, asked here for her blessing for the upcoming important changes in their lives and activities, and finally rushed here with their physical ailments And the blessed old woman, who always during her life willingly helped people’s grief, clearly showed that even after her departure to the heavenly world, the world of bliss and joy, she did not break the prayer connection with the inhabitants of the local, earthly world - the world of sadness and tears. Many tangibly felt the breath of the gracious power of God poured out on them through the prayers of the old woman, which lightened their souls, pacified their hearts, weakened or completely healed, according to the faith of each, their bodily ailments.
