This miraculous image of the Virgin Mary symbolizes the fulfillment of the prophecy of the Righteous Elder Symeon: Behold, thus it lies in the fall and resurrection of many in Israel, and in a point of contention, and your soul passes through it like a sword, as if revealed by heart. ). It depicts the Mother of God with seven swords or sorrows, with three spears or swords on the right shoulder and three on the left and one piercing her heart from below. In the Bible the number seven signifies abundance and fullness. In this case, however, it symbolizes the fullness of the infinite sorrows, the pain of the heart that the Virgin Mary felt during her earthly life. This image has the grace to protect anyone who invokes it and to stop any evil that threatens him from sorcery, baskanias, tongue-eating, curses, mental disorders, delusions and all kinds of frauds.
The Holy Icon is celebrated on the 2nd of February and on the Sunday of All Saints.
