Russian monks living and working in Sofrino monasteries, crafted this Russian Orthodox "Icon Joy of All Who Sorrow" - (Rus) "Икона Всех Скорбящих Радость". The icon depicts the Mother of God in the radiance of the mandorla, surrounded by people overwhelmed by ailments and sorrows, and angels doing good deeds on her behalf. This decoupaged Icon is accented with a gold leaf background and framed on a traditional slab of wood. All icons from the Sofrino Monastery factory are blessed by the Russian Orthodox Church.
