One of the objects of pilgrimage interest in the Paigarma location is the Holy Spring of Paraskeva Friday (Paigarma). Over time he dug a deep and wide pit, lowered the log house and the water flowed in a rapid stream from the spring; then he built a chapel and transferred to it the icon of the martyr Paraskeva. At one time in a dream a beautiful woman appeared to him with a cross in her hands and said: “Do you want to be healthy and do you want to go home?” The soldier, waking up from his dream, read this vision as an ordinary dream and said nothing to anyone; on the second and third nights he had the same vision, and on the third night it was added: “You will be perfectly healthy in three days, and in three days you will be released to your homeland; when you come home, do not forget to go to the village of Paigarma, go into the forest, holding from the village to the left hand to the ravine, to the bush; there on the halfway you will find a large ant, from which you will go down the mountain straight, and then you will never see my tail, and I will not let it into it, and then I will make a small look at it.”

Since from the day of the establishment of the chapel, the common people from year to year came to the spring and the icon that appeared, the owners of the land, having suffered great losses from the fact that the people were crushing mowing and young shoots of the forest, ordered to dismantle the chapel, and the icon to be taken to the parish church of Ruzaev.
