This extraordinary icon exudes the unusual elegance and detail characteristic of the relief gold printing technique. The central part of the icon is dominated by the figure of the saint, whose dress and halo are made of gold in relief, giving them a special shine and depth. The background of the icon also has golden hues, but more subtle and even, which further highlights the main motif.
Every detail on the saint is carefully made. The delicate lines of the gold print emphasize the contours of the face, the drapery of the clothes and other elements, creating a realistic and vivid display. The contrasts between the gold and darker surfaces allow each segment of the icon to be clearly distinguished and provide a sense of three-dimensionality.
The icon is carefully placed inside a robust wooden frame. The wood of the frame is dark in color, which provides a nice contrast to the shimmering gold on the icon. The frame itself is simply designed, without superfluous details, which allows the main attention to remain focused on the gold print of the icon.
Overall, the icon is a perfect blend of traditional art and craftsmanship, where the embossed gold printing technique gives a special visual effect, and the wooden frame adds rusticity and warmth to complete this masterpiece.

The icon of the Mother of God called "Seven Arrows" was painted more than five hundred years ago by a North Russian artist. It is also called the Softening of Evil Hearts or the Prophecy of Simeon.
The icon with seven arrows softens hearts - that's why they pray before it for peace during war, for the pacification of irreconcilable enemies, for the sharing of patience, as well as for healing from cholera and lameness. The number "seven" was not chosen for her by chance - Saint Simeon the God-bearer prophesied about the test with weapons that the soul of the Mother of God must go through. The seven swords are the unbearable spiritual sorrow that Mary experienced during the crucifixion, torment and death of her divine son.
