The '''Softener of Evil Hearts''' [[icon]] is also called the '''Prophecy of Simon''' (or ''Simons Prophecy''). The [[Theotokos]] is depicted in this icon with her heart pierced by seven swords; a symbolic number possibly indicating the the fullness and boundless sorrow, pain and "sickness of heart" that would have been experienced by the Mother of God at His crucifiction. Three of the swords enter her heart from the left, three swords enter from the right and one sword from underneath.

This icon is commemorated [[August 13]] with the Old Calendar. </ref> This icon is commemorated [[February 2]] / [[ February 15]].
