The original icon of the Mother of God of the Passion was first mentioned in 1641 when it was moved from Nizhny Novgorod to Moscow on orders from Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich, it was then placed in the Passion convent in Moscow which was built to receive the revered icon. The icon is celebrated on April 30th.
