The Seraphim Diveyevo Tenderness Emotion (Eleusa) Icon of The Mother of God
Traditional Greek-Orthodox Byzantine icon in canonical iconographic style. Lithography, wood, gold-imprinting.
Seraphim of Sarov's cell icon, or "Joy of All Joys" as he used to call it, is mentioned by his contemporaries in their depiction of the last period of the elder's life. In 1815, he left his seclusion and opened the doors of his cell to all who sought his advice and preaching. After a joint prayer of repentance and blessing, father would customarily make the sign of the cross on the visitor's forehead using oil from the oil lamp that burned in front of his cell icon.
