The icon of the Virgin "Semi -Start" (Model 935) STL

The icon of the Mother of God «Semystrelnaya» (The Softener of Evil Hearts), holds a profoundly symbolic place in Orthodox iconography. It depicts the Most Holy Theotokos alone, without the Christ Child, with seven swords or arrows piercing her chest — three from each side and one from below. In Christian tradition, the number seven signifies fullness, representing here the ultimate degree of sorrow and grief endured by the Mother at the Crucifixion of her Son. Historically, this iconographic type became widely known in Russia by the 17th or 18th century. Believers traditionally pray before this image for the pacification of enemies, the resolution of conflicts, protection from malice, and the softening of hardened hearts.
