Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the icon of Our Lady of Lady from the Basilian monastery in Malyia Lady located not far from Minsk (Belarus). The cult of the icon was local and existed from the first half of the 18th century till the first half of the 20th c entury. T he icon was a copy of the icon of Our Lady of Žyrovicy and its cult was closely related to that of the icon of Our Lady of Žyrovicy that strengthened after the coronation in 1730 and occasional discovery of its copy in the Santi Sergio e Bacco church in Rome during the renovation in 1718. These both motives were reflected in the history of icon from Lady. The earliest legendary reference on the origin of the icon cult are contained in two poems dating back to 1744 which have preserved in a hand-written set of religious texts and attached to the article.
