Abstract
The material for the first time is presented in article about an image, called the Wonder-working Shroud of the Mother of God. This shrine remains in Sacred Voskresensk Troitsk a stavropigialny female monastery of Korec of the Volynsk edge. This image is mentioned in historical documents since 1622 and represents cut out in a form and a written figure on a cypress tree of the deceased Mother of God. The similar figures, called Shrouds of the Mother of God which participated in church services of a feast of the Assumption, and also were brought by pilgrims as blessings from the Holy Land, were widespread in the XIX century. The art and historical analysis of an image considered in article allows to assume earlier existence of similar Uspensky shrouds.
