The story of the Pochayiv Monastery began with the visit of the greek Metropolitan Neofit to a woman named Anna Gojska at Orla estate, several miles from Pochaev. He gave Anna an icon brought from Constantinople, and it stayed in her private chapel for some 30 years. In 1597 Anna gave the icon to the monastery on the mountain. She also gave lands and money. The monks built a new stone Dormition church to house the icon, for which Anna also gave funds. In 1604, the monastic community was joined by Ivan Zalizo. He received the monastic name of Job and was elected the monastery’s hegumen. Job introduced strict discipline and other reforms of monastic life. After Anna died, the mountain on which the monastery lay was inherited by Anna’s grandson Andrzej Firlej, governor of Sandomierz and Castellan of Belz, a convert to the Lutheran Church and very opposed to Eastern Orthodoxy. In 1623 Firlej raided
the monastery, taking the holy icon and many jewelry. Job was initiated lawsuits of the Pochaiyv Monastery with Castellan of Belz. Thanks his to the efforts the Court of Lublin ordered the return image of what actually occurred. Court decision Andrzej Firlej finally returned the icon to the monks in 1644. Job of Pochayiv died on October 25, 1651.
