"Who Would Have Stolen an Image of Our Lord from the Church in Chamiary?"
About the History of the Image of Our Lord of Chamiary-Bukhavichy
In the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, as well as later in those lands belong-
ing to the Russian Empire, miraculous images had supra-confessional cult. One of
them was a miraculous image of Our Lord of Chamiary-Bukhavichy, which cult dates
back to the second half of the 18th century, when the image was in a private possession.
After a dream vision, the image was placed into an Uniate church in Chamiary, when
it was quickly acknowledged to be wonder-working. Once at night the image was
stolen from the church and later appeared in the Dominican cloister in Bukhav-
ichy. The investigation showed that it was taken from the church by initial owner.
After the partition of the Russian Empire, when the Uniate church in Bukhavichy was
turned to Orthodoxy, the Orthodox priest claimed the image to have Orthodox origin
and had been stolen by the Dominicans. The image, however, remained in Catholic
possession and was brought to Kobryn catholic church when the Dominican cloister
was closed and turned to an Orthodox church.
