Description
The icon of the Virgin Mary of the Seven Swords (Seven Sorrows ) reflects the profound sorrow of the Theotokos as she witnessed the suffering and crucifixion of her Son.
The seven swords symbolize the fullness of her pain, in accordance with the prophecy of the righteous Simeon:
“And a sword will pierce through your own soul also” (Luke 2:35).
In Orthodox tradition, this icon expresses not despair, but deep compassion, humility, and participation in the redemptive suffering of Christ.
The Mother of God is portrayed as a silent witness of divine love and sacrifice, offering comfort to those who suffer and seek her intercession.
