“‘The Inexhaustible Cup’ is an inexhaustible cup of joy, consolation, healing, life; in other words, the inexhaustible spring of all blessings and gifts. [...]By calling the Mother of God ‘The Inexhaustible Cup’ one understands this in the sense of Her being quintessentially pure. One can see thereby the deep spiritual reason as to why the Icon ‘The Inexhaustible Cup’ has become the source of salvific hopes and healings for those who, by coming to this Icon, run to Her when fighting the passion of drunkenness.”
