Before the icon of "Joy and Consolation" it is customary to pray to the Heavenly Queen about getting rid of various diseases and infirmities. In addition, it was noted for a long time that it bears help in the epidemics that have visited our land more than once, and carried away thousands of lives. In connection with this, every time the Lord let people for sins happen to plague, cholera or frosty weather, having served a moleben, orthodox people with a religious procession updated the icon around the infected city, and if their repentance was deep and sincere, the illness receded.
