One of the objects of pilgrimage interest in the Korsun location is the Holy Source of the icon of the Mother of God “Life-giving Source” (Korsun). It is a place of spiritual consolation and prayerful communion, where believers can plunge into the consecrated water in a closed font with full immersion and take it with them. In preparation for the construction of a new font, the abbot of the monastery hegumen Silouan (Firsov) blessed to look for a historical place where the old font was previously located and where springs beat.
The spring combines a long history, rooted in the XVII century, and modern improvement, creating an atmosphere of peace and grace. Current conditions of visit and improvement of the territory should be specified immediately before departure.
