The Belynichi icon of the Mother of God was considered miraculous by Orthodox, Catholics and Uniates.

This image has become not only the central axis in the history of the Belynichi, but also one of the most famous and beloved icons in Belarus. Centuries of veneration of the icon have led to the fact that there are a great many legends, legends mixed with facts and guesses about the shrine. For example, according to the Orthodox version, the Byzantine icon of the Mother of God was brought in the XIII century by monks from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra to the temple of the village on the Drut River (now Belynichi, Mogilev region). According to another version, the image of the Mother of God was stolen by Catholics from the Orthodox and transferred to the Carmelite church in Belynichi only in the XVII century.

The glory of the miraculous icon of the Belynichi Mother of God has been spreading for centuries. According to some reports, at the end of the XIX century, about 10 thousand pilgrims came to bow to her every year. In importance, the icon was compared with the Polish shrine – the icon of the Mother of God of Czestochowa.

The miraculous icon gained special fame during the war between Russia and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1654-1667), when it was in the Lyakhovichi Castle and helped to withstand the siege of the Russian troops of the voivode I.A. Khovansky.

In 1876, the icon was solemnly crowned with crowns consecrated in Rome. The icon remained in Belynichi even after the transfer of the Belynichi Church to the Orthodox clergy in 1876. In the 1930s, after the closure of the church, the icon was kept in the Mogilev Regional Museum of Local Lore, from where it disappeared during World War II. In 1990, a church was built in Belynichi in honor of the image, now a list (copy) of the icon is kept there. The image of the Mother of God with the baby, which became the symbol of the urban settlement, appeared on the coat of arms of the Belynichi.
