For the area «Bulgar» on the map marked the holy spring in honor of the martyr Abraham (Bulgar). The spring was restored in post-Soviet times with the cleaning of the well and the construction of a new chapel in traditional forms. The revered source consecrated in honor of the Martyr Abraham of Bulgaria, the Vladimir Wonderworker is a well with a chapel, equipped on the site of the martyr’s death of the saint in the XIII century.
Since 1989, a tradition has been established, on the fourth Sunday after Easter, to make a procession from St. Abraham’s Church to the holy spring, where a water-holy prayer service with an akathist is served. When preparing a trip, it is worth checking the condition of the last section of the road and the hours of free visit.
