Icon of the Mother of God of unexpected joy ( Нечаянная Радость)


A young man with an affliction was praying before the Icon in the upper room out of habit. Suddenly the image came alive and he saw Christ's wounds all bloody. In horror he asked why and the reply came that ,"Thou and other sinners by their sins do crucify My Son anew". In awareness of his own deep sins he prayed  sincerely to the Mother of God and Christ the Saviour for mercy.  His unexpected joy due to receiving healing and forgiveness.
