RIBOLY - PETRASZKI UROCZYSKO, GM. ZABŁUDÓW, POW. BIAŁOSTOCKI

"Miraculous spring" in the Petrashki charming area located about a kilometer northwest of the village of Ryboly. According to the Orthodox Church Chronicle, in 1864, the first wooden chapel was built with the efforts of the faithful, and inside there was a well from which water was drawn. Inside was an icon of Our Lady of the Life-Giving Spring. In 1926, a new chapel was erected. In the mid-1980s, the spring was partially destroyed by a drainage ditch during field reclamation. At present, it is embanked. Twice a year a service is held here with the consecration of water.
