Unexpected Joy antique icon of the Mother of God, Russia, 19th century. Antique icon from Central Russia, painted in the 19th century on a wood board of 33x25 cm, and representing the scene of the "Unexpected Joy", tied to an uplifting tale about Dimitrij, bishop of Rostov.
The beginning of the narration appears in the writing, as you can see at the bottom of the image.
A man, who lived a sinful life, used to pray Our lady in front of her icon repeating the words that the Archangel once said to her.
One day, while praying, he saw the icon animating and the sores of Jesus had opened and they were bleeding. Scared as he was, he asked the Virgin: "who did this?". And she replied: "you and the other sinners, because with your faults you crucify my son again".
It was only in that moment that the poor man realized his foul deeds, and he begged the Mother of God and the Saviour for forgiveness.
At the end he was granted with the Unexpected Joy of the forgiveness and the remission of sins.
Icon delivered with export documents and expertise by Russian Cultural Heritage.
