Several centuries later, during the Mongol invasion of Russia, two monks of the Monastery of the Caves of Kiev settled in the area after the Mongols had sacked their city.
The early writings of monastic life on Mount Pochaev unofficial, are in the sixteenth century in documents of Polish kings Sigismund I and Sigismund II, which refer to "a Greek rite monastery on Mount Pochaev" and "very old and famous."
It mentions the nobleman Orthodox Goiskaya Anna, the widow of a local judge, Goisky Basilio, and the life of St. Job of Pochaev venerable abbot of Pochaev from 1596 to 1651.
In 1559, when at the request of the Greek Patriarch Metropolitan Neophite came to Russia in search of financial support for the Church of Constantinople, brought with him an ancient Byzantine icon of the Mother of God. From his home he traveled to Moscow Volhyn, where he accepted the invitation of Anna Goiskaya to enjoy his hospitality in his castle in Orel, not far from Pochaev. In gratitude for his generosity as a blessing to Anna, left him the icon he had brought from Constantinople.
Anna made the first icon in his private chapel, where he remained for more than thirty years. During those years, officials began to notice that sometimes shone the icon with a mysterious light, and had begun to manifest miracles. Anna herself was prone to believe in the stories of his service until he saw the light icon emanating a radiant light.
In 1597, Anna gave Goiskaya the miraculous icon as a gift to Pochaev Monastery Monastery, now headed by the venerable abbot of St. Job, in addition to land and support materials.
