Mother of God Joy of All Who Sorrow

Mother of God, Joy of All Who Sorrow is the name of at least three well-known icons of similar design.

On October 24th, the Church commemorates the icon of the Mother of God, Joy of All Who Sorrow of Moscow. A woman named Euphymia (sister of Patriarch Joachim) received healing from sickness after obeying a voice telling her to find this icon and have the priest celebrate a Molieben with blessing of water. This miracle occured on October 24th, 1688.

On July 23rd, the Church commemorates the icon of the Mother of God, Joy of All Who Sorrow of St. Petersburg. This icon was glorified in 1888 when the chapel it was located in was struck by lightning. Miraculously, this icon survived despite all else being burned, and twelve coins from the poor box became attached to the icon.

On November 19th, a third icon of similar name and design is commemorated.
