In Christianity, among the Orthodox, several main types of shrines are venerated, depicting the image of the Blessed Virgin, and one of these shrines is the icon of the Mother of God " Tenderness». It belongs to the main Russian type of iconography, the so-called Eleusa, where the Son of God sits in the arms of his Mother and leans His cheek against Her. Therefore, on the icon of "Emotion", the Mother of God, as a rule, is represented in this type, depicted to the waist, with a Baby, at whom she looks tenderly, with emotion.
They ask the shrine for relief from suffering and mental pain, for the relief of childbirth, for harmony, but even though these petitions are different, they need only one thing – sincerity, purity of what they want.
