Icon of the Theotokos “Joy and Consolation”
Workshop of A. D. Salautin, Palekh · 19th Century
Museum-Quality Reproduction | Historic Miracle-Working Image
The icon of the Most Holy Theotokos “Joy and Consolation” is a deeply revered Orthodox image known for bringing comfort, hope, and inner peace to those who turn to the Mother of God in prayer. This museum-quality reproduction is based on a 19th-century original created in the renowned Palekh icon-painting tradition, in the workshop of A. D. Salautin, one of the distinguished masters of his time.
In this icon, the Virgin Mary is depicted with a gentle, compassionate expression, radiating maternal love and mercy. Her image conveys the promise of heavenly consolation to all who suffer, grieve, or carry heavy burdens in their hearts. The Christ Child, close to His Mother, symbolizes divine grace, healing, and the living presence of God among His people.
The Palekh style is evident in the refined drawing, harmonious proportions, luminous colors, and delicate highlights that give the figures a spiritual, almost ethereal presence. Gold accents and subtle color transitions enhance the sense of sacred light, drawing the viewer into a prayerful contemplation.
Before the icon of the Theotokos “Joy and Consolation”, the faithful traditionally pray for:
-
Comfort in sorrow and grief
-
Strength during trials and life’s hardships
-
Healing of soul and body
-
Peace in the family and reconciliation
-
Relief from despair, anxiety, and fear
This icon is especially cherished by believers seeking spiritual support and reassurance that the Mother of God hears their prayers and intercedes before her Son. It is well suited for a home icon corner, chapel, or as a meaningful and prayerful gift for loved ones.
