The village of Kreštelovac is famous for the healing spring next to the chapel, with pilgrims coming from all around. Healings have been known to occur there for centuries.

The chapel was built in 1747, and the spring was included in the list of the healing springs of Slavonia. Orthodox priests celebrate molebens and bless water there on Sundays.
