Russian Greek Orthodox Icon on Wood - Mother of God with Seven Arrows 6*7 inches

Description: Icon of the Mother of God with Seven ArrowsSize: 15.5 x 18.5 cm6 x 7 inches The icon of the Mother of God with seven arrows is honored in a special way on August 13. In this icon, the Mother of God is represented alone, with her heart pierced by arrows: four on the left and three on the right. There are icons in which three arrows appear on the right, three on the left, and a vertical one below them. Considering the two ways of arranging the arrows, there are people who consider that they are two different icons: one being "Seven Arrows" and another "Taming of hardened hearts". Others, regardless of the arrangement of the arrows, speak of a single icon. The scriptural foundation for the Icon of the Mother of God with seven arrows is the prophecy of Simeon the Righteous, who announced to the Mother of God when she took Christ to the Temple in Jerusalem, forty days after His birth, the sufferings He would endure: "Behold, This is set for the fall and rise of many in Israel and as a sign that will stir up opposition. And a sword will pass through your soul, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed." (Lk. 2, 34-35). Righteous Simeon revealed to the Mother of God the mystery of the Cross of Christ, His sufferings, but also her sufferings as a mother, who will see with her own eyes her Son crucified and killed. The icon of the Mother of God with seven arrows was miraculously discovered by a simple man, sick for many years. Following a dream, this man goes to the bell tower of the church near the Tosin river and discovers the icon. This had been turned face down, so that it looked like a simple plank, and the bell ringers walked on it on the way to the bells, without knowing what spiritual treasure they were walking on. The sick man prays before her and receives healing. For a long time, information about the Icon of the Mother of God with seven arrows has been missing. They reappeared in 1830, when a cholera epidemic broke out in Vologda. The locals made a procession with the Icon with seven arrows, and in a short time the disease stopped. It is the moment when the day of honoring this icon is established. Tears flowed from this icon on August 12, 2000, when the Kursk submarine was destroyed, but also on September 11, 2001, when the Twin Towers in New York were destroyed. The icon of the Mother of God with seven arrows is also known as a helper in suffering, trouble, despair, torment, etc. of believers.
