About the icon:
The icon of "Glycophilus" is written in a manner that belongs to the iconographic type "Emotion" ("Eleusa»). The sad look of the Most Holy Mother of God, who foresees the fate of her Son, expresses immeasurable love and tenderness. Holding Jesus to her, she seems to be trying to protect Him. But Christos will have to save humanity by sacrificing his life..

According to the legends of the Philotheev Monastery, the miraculous icon helps to cope with many troubles and misfortunes. Turning to "Glycophilus", believers ask: to grant good health; to get rid of torments; to strengthen in faith; to forgive sinful thoughts and deeds; to heal from physical and mental diseases; to protect from the machinations of ill-wishers. "Sweet Kiss" provides special protection to childless married couples who pray for the gift of healthy, strong offspring. Through prayers to the image of the Mother of God, parents manage to return children who have strayed from the true path to a righteous life.
