The icon of the Virgin "softening evil hearts" (Model 859) STL

The icon of the Mother of God «Softening of Evil Hearts» (also known as «Simeon's Prophecy») is rooted in the Gospel narrative of the Meeting of the Lord in the Temple, where the righteous Simeon prophesied the spiritual pain and sorrow piercing the Virgin's soul. The seven daggers piercing her chest symbolize the fullness of earthly grief endured by the Mother of God, while the number seven in Christian tradition represents the fullness of human sins. Believers pray before this icon for the pacification of warring parties, the softening of cruel dispositions, deliverance from hatred, envy, and hardening of the heart, as well as for the healing of spiritual and physical ailments.
