Unexpected Joy Mother of God | Icon Gold and Silver Foiled Mounted on Wood 9,8" x 7,5" | Handcrafted

Icon crafted in gold Russian style antiqued.

The “Unexpected Joy” Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos is painted in this way: in a room is an icon of the Mother of God, and beneath it a youth is kneeling at prayer. The tradition about the healing of some youth from a bodily affliction through this holy icon is recorded in the book of Saint Demetrius of Rostov, The Fleece of Prayer [See Judges 6: 36-40].
