The seven—pointed icon of the Mother of God is one of the most deeply revered among the Orthodox. There are many miracles associated with it, one of which occurred when it was found. Legend has it that a certain peasant had a prophecy about getting rid of ailments with the help of prayer before the Virgin, after which he found the prototype in a church near Vologda and received the desired healing.
The icon depicts the Mother of God surrounded by seven arrows or swords aimed at her. The hands of the Virgin are folded in prayer, sorrow and pain are visible on her Face. It is believed that the Mother of God is grieving for her Son Jesus, who voluntarily accepted suffering from people, and humanity itself, vegetating in sins. The seven-pointed image of the Mother of God is consonant with the icon "Softening of evil Hearts". The seven arrows represent the seven vices to which the souls of people are subject. The image demonstrates how deeply the Blessed Virgin is wounded by human sins and how much she worries about every servant of God. This also means that the Queen of Heaven knows all the thoughts hidden in the human heart.
In front of the image of Our Lady of the Seven Arrows, they pray with all sincerity, ask for forgiveness, pacification, and healing from ailments. The Virgin protects from quarrels, softens the heart, and promotes reconciliation. The special veneration of the Seven-Barrel Icon of the Virgin falls on August 26.

The icon with precious stones "Our Lady of the Seven Arrows"The icon with precious stones "Our Lady of the Seven Arrows"The finding of the icon of the Mother of God "Semistrelnaya" occurred as follows: one peasant of the Vologda province, suffering from a serious illness, received a revelation in a dream that there was a miracle-working icon forgotten by all on the bell tower of the village church, from which a person was promised healing. For a long time, the image could not be found, until they found the icon on the bell tower of the temple, where they walked on it like on a board, not noticing the holy image on the reverse side. After the image was cleaned of years of dirt, a prayer service was served in front of it and the peasant received relief from the disease. Thus, the "Seven-arrow" icon became known as miraculous, and numerous pilgrims began to flock to it. After some time, the image was forgotten again, until in 1830 a cholera epidemic broke out in the Vologda province. A procession was made with the "Seven-Arrow" icon, and soon the epidemic stopped.
It is believed that the "Seven-arrow" icon was created no earlier than the XVIII century, however, it can be assumed that it was a list from an older image. Her iconography resembles another image known as "Softening of Evil Hearts," but it has some differences.: arrows are depicted instead of swords, and their location is also different. Both iconographic images go back to the prophecy of the righteous Simeon the God-receiver, mentioned in the Gospel of Luke. According to this prediction, the Mother of God had to endure such suffering that, like a weapon, would pierce her soul. The number of arrows or swords depicted is not accidental, since the number seven has its own symbolism in Christianity, meaning the fullness of something (on the icon of the Virgin it is the fullness of suffering). In front of the "Seven-arrow" icon, it is customary to pray for reconciliation of the warring parties and softening of the cruel heart.
The celebration of the Semistrelnaya icon takes place on August 26 in a new style.
