Wooden Icon of the Blessing of the Infants (Blessing Children)
This icon depicts the gospel scene of the Savior blessing the children: “They brought children to Him so that He would touch them, but the disciples did not allow those who brought them. Seeing this, Jesus was indignant and said to them: Let the children come to Me and do not hinder them, for of such is the Kingdom of God. I tell you truly, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it. And, embracing them, he laid his hands on them and blessed them (Mark 10:13-16).
The icon "Blessing the Children" makes you feel the symbolism of this event, shows the deep connection of the human soul with God, Who accepts everyone simply and with love, like a child.
Any child entering the church, first of all, communicates with the icon, he absorbs this communication with joy - "Like a child receives the Kingdom of God." In addition, a tete-a-tete child will be able to consider in more detail how Jesus Christ blesses little children like him.
