		In 1721 the patriarchate was suspended, the monastery lost most of its land and wealth to the state, and the church was governed by a council controlled by the Tzar.
		Monastery chronicles tell of numerous miracles performed with the relics, of their ability to save people from drowning and freezing in the lake, and that prayers addressed to the relics heal nervous, mental and infectious diseases, as well as alcoholism.
