This icon is in good general condition, very decorative. To report: slight accidents, dirt, scratches and wear and tear of the time, look at the photos carefully. This miraculous icon has its origins in the church of St. It was glorified in 1688 after the intercession and healing of the sister of the patriarch ioachim and was then transferred to St. The "joy of all afflicted" icon presents many variations influenced by several Catholic iconographic elements.

But they all have one element in common: the image of the afflicted who address their prayers to the mother of God. The icon emanates a strong light and presents the crowned virgin in the centre, often standing on the moon, and the child, crowned also, in his left hand.

The light of the sun and the moon are elements from the book of the apocalypse: "a woman dressed in the sun with the moon under her feet". Dimensions: 26.3 cm x 22.3 cm.
