The veneration of this image dates back to 1640, when the icon was brought to Moscow. Unfortunately, the original source has not reached our days. Repetitions of the XVII century. also we are not yet known. The earliest example is an icon from the Moscow church, dating from 1773. Most of the surviving icons of this type date back to the 19th century.

The thoroughness of the performance, the desire to preserve the traditional icon-handcraft make it possible to attribute the icon to the work of Russian Palekh masters. Celebration of the icon “Quench My Sorrows” is celebrated on February 7.
