Virgin Mary Icon of the Three Joys

The Virgin Mary Icon of the Three Joys is surrounded by mystery and blessing. This marvelous image of the Mother of God is a reproduction of “The Bright Family” created by the Italian master Raphael. This copy was brought to Russia by a pious artist who had studied abroad.
Presented to the rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity on Gryazekh in Moscow, the icon was placed on the porch above the entrance to the church. Its name “Three Joys of the Mother of God” became relevant due to an amazing incident that occurred 40 years after its arrival.
One unfortunate woman had three difficult trials: her husband was condemned and sent into exile, all her property went to the treasury, and her son was taken prisoner. In her prayers, the Mother of God revealed a vision to her and told her to look for an icon of the Holy Family in Moscow. The woman found it in the Trinity Church, prayed and received three glad tidings: her husband was acquitted and returned from exile, her son was released, and the confiscated property was returned.
Since then, the icon became known as “The Three Joys”, and the faithful reached out to her with prayers for deliverance from troubles and sorrows. The image on the icon recreates the moment when the Divine Child on the lap of the Blessed Virgin holds a white flower, symbolizing purity and holiness. To the right of the central composition are Joseph the Betrothed and John the Baptist, both looking lovingly at the Beautiful Child. This icon has become known as a miracle-working icon and attracts believers praying for intercession in life’s difficulties.
