Softener of Evil Hearts Mother of God | Gold and Silver foiled lithography print | Size: 5 1/4"x4 1/2"

The wonderworking and myrrh-streaming Icon of the Mother of God Softener of Evil Hearts is one of the great sacred treasures of the Russian Orthodox Church today. The icon has traveled throughout the world, bringing consolation to the faithful, and indeed, softening the hearts of those who opposed to God.

The icon is kept in the village of Bachurino in the Sosenskoe Municipality outside of Moscow, where a chapel was built for it with the blessing of Schema-Archimandrite Iliy (Nozdrin), a respected Optina elder.
