The news of the miracles went all over Russia and reached Peter I who removed the icon to to the Synod, and brought it to Moscow, "for fear of superstition among the people." After the death of the Emperor the icon was returned to the monastery. It had been carrying all the way in hands, accompanied by the people and clergy with lighted candles.
