In 1688, Euphymia Papina, the sister of Patriarch Joachim Euphimia Petrovna Papina, had an incurable illness and heard the voice of the Most Holy Theotokos. The voice told her to go to the temple of the Transfiguration of My Son in Moscow where she would find an icon called the "Joy of All Who Sorrow" that would heal her. On October 24, 1688, Euphymia found the icon and was, indeed, healed. The Russian Orthodox church commemorates this icon in honor of the miracle on October 24th.
The “Mother of God Joy of All Who Sorrow” Icon is a small bronze and blue enamel Russian icon created in circa 1825-1875. The icon depicts Theotokos (the virgin Mary) with arms spread and head titled. Her son, Jesus, is above her. On both sides of Theotokos are various people in need as well as angels.
