A copy of the icon of the end of the XVII century. Moscow. Armory.The original is kept in the State Historical Museum.
The icon "Virgin With Playful Child by" reflects the emotional nature of the relationship between the Mother of God and her Son, depicted playing (or frolicking). He is sitting in his Mother's arms, his head thrown back, as if playing, pulling his hands to Her face. At the same time, the faces of the Mother of God and Christ are extremely close, with one hand He touches Her mouth, the other is lowered. His figure is full of lively, impetuous movement.
The images of the Mother of God and the Baby on this icon convey the full depth of trust and tenderness that must exist between mothers and children. After all, the reflection of the Mother of God shines in every mother.
The "Baby's Rise" is an icon of all young mothers and all Orthodox women who want to have a child. Before this image, mothers say fervent prayers for the well-being of their children. They pray to her for help during pregnancy, before and after childbirth, and also bring prayers for permission from infertility.
The most famous list of this icon was revealed in 1795 in the Moscow region, in the Nikolo-Ugresh monastery (this monastery was founded by Dimitri Donskoy in honor of the victory of the Russian army on Kulikovo Field). Many miracles related to the cure of infertility and the healing of sick infants took place from the icon. In the 20th century, the icon was lost, and in 2003 it returned to the monastery, where it is still kept.
The oldest list of the icon is in the Vatopedian Monastery on Mount Athos.
This icon is a high-resolution lithography print on hardboard, embellished with light-reflecting gold and silve foil.
