"Strastnaya" Mother of God.

                This icon is also known as "Our Lady of Perpetual Help" and "Mother of God of the Passion".

In the upper left corner is the Archangel Michael carrying a 3-bar cross. In the upper right is the Archangel Gabriel carrying the lance and sponge. The instruments are symbolic of victory over sin. The Mother of God is crowned, and the Child Jesus anticipates His ultimate fate.
