Mother of God Virgin Mary the Theotokos "Child Leaping for Joy" (Leaping of the Infant). Wooden orthodox icon

Wooden Icon of the Mother of God "Child Leaping for Joy" (Leaping of the Infant, Leaping of the Child)

For a woman expecting a child, the pregnancy period becomes very important and exciting. God gave her the happiness and responsibility of future motherhood. The Icon of the Mother of God “Leaping of the Child” is an image of the Motherly love of the Mother of God. Looking at the icon, we remember the great sacrifice that Christ made and the suffering that the Most Holy Theotokos endured with him. In the miraculous image, through prayers before which many were healed of infertility, the Infant Jesus stretches out his hands to the Mother of God in play, and She presses her cheek to Him. Her love for Him and tenderness is love for all humanity.

Before the icon they pray for:

for children to appear;
safe pregnancy;
safe birth;
about the health of the baby and his mother.
