Chufut-Kale is a Crimean cave town. It is closely associated with Virgin Mary. Here are situated the Valley of Mary, City of Mary, Christian necropolis and the remains of a Christian temple. The famous Assumption Monastery is situated near Chufut-Kale. The appearance of the 'live icon' of the Virgin Mary near Chufut-Kale is very well-known, in honour of which the Assumption Monastery was founded. The 'live icon' of the Mother of God is possibly a reminiscence of a personal appearance in Chufut-Kale of Mary Mother of God herself. According to Life of Mary the Mother God, she was buried in the cave. The Assumption Monastery in Chufut-Kale is indeed a cave-monastery.
