Seven-arrow Icon of the Mother of God

Seven-arrow Icon of the Mother of God The Seven-arrow Icon of the Mother of God is a venerated icon in the Eastern Orthodox Church. It depicts the Virgin Mary with seven arrows piercing her heart, symbolizing the seven sorrows she endured during her life, as foretold by the prophet Simeon (Luke 2:35). The seven sorrows represent the prophecy of Simeon, the flight into Egypt, the loss of the child Jesus in the temple, the meeting of Jesus on the way to Calvary, the crucifixion of Jesus, the taking down of His body from the cross, and the burial of Jesus. This icon serves as a reminder of the suffering and sacrifice of the Virgin Mary, as well as a source of comfort and inspiration for those who are experiencing their own sorrows and trials. Devotion to the Seven-arrow Icon of the Mother of God is a way for Orthodox Christians to seek the intercession and solace of the Theotokos (Mother of God) during times of difficulty and suffering. The icon is often used in prayers for protection, healing, and consolation. The Seven-arrow Icon of the Mother of God is a powerful symbol of faith and resilience, reminding believers that even in the midst of suffering, the Theotokos is a compassionate and loving intercessor who can bring comfort and hope to those in need.
