The icon of the Mother of God "Affection" was a private icon of the Reverend Seraphim of Sarov. St. The seraph called the shrine "All pleasures Joy" and esteemed her as the Pure Virgin. The Saint aged man smeared ailing and sick people with the consecrated oil from the icon lamp always burning before an icon in his cell. So he cured of all illnesses, the sincere and corporal, coming to him pilgrims.
According to the legend, Angel Gabriel has handed to Virgin Mary a lily as a sign of the good news and a symbol of its virgin purity, spiritual beauty and sublime love for God. Therefore the stylized images of flowers of a lily surround Blessed Virgin's image on the face of an icon. They are placed and around written on the back of words of the Arkhangelsk greeting: "To the virgin Virgin, rejoice, Fertile Mariye, the Lord with You!"
