Icon Artemy Verkolsky from amber

According to the stories of the saints, Artemy was born in 1532 in the village of Verkolya on the Pinega River, into a peasant family of Kozma and Apollinariya. The boy was endowed with kindness, obedience, and diligence. Already at the age of five, he showed humility, shunned childish games, and started helping his parents with work. As the son of pious parents, Artemy was patient and diligent in all good deeds. One day, when Artemy was 13 years old, he was working with his father in the field when a storm caught them. Suddenly, the clouds thickened and lightning struck the young Artemy, and he fell dead. The villagers began to believe that this was a sign of God's judgment, so they left the body unburied in the pine forest. Later, a rural preacher saw a light shining from heaven over the place where the righteous Artemy lay. After the sign from God, the holy relics were moved to the church and became a source of many healings. Later, the Verkolsky Monastery was founded in this village, where the parishioners began to seek healing from ailments.
