Icon “Unexpected Joy” For Orthodox Christians, this icon is, in fact, a whole textbook of Christian morality. Firstly, it is a reminder of the high price we have been redeemed from sin, and what ungrateful we are when, when we say prayers aloud, we continue to sin, not realizing that the Lord expects from us not only prayers, but also a pure heart and righteous of life. Secondly, the icon teaches us that when we commit sin, we crucify Christ again and again. And also that there is no sin that will not be forgiven under our sincere repentance. The fact that our prayer addresses do not go to waste, even if the person praying is not worthy. And how great is the boldness of the Mother of God before Her Son. The “Unexpected Joy” icon teaches us a grateful life. Before the face of the Blessed Virgin Mary, each of us is miserable, sinful and restless. And do not be ashamed of this, as a great shame. We must admit this and rejoice inadvertently that it is accepted that now you have a wide open space and unlimited possibilities. Remember in akathist? “Rejoice, unintentional joy to the faithful Giver.” And not for those who, on a long marathon from sin to sin, suddenly make a zigzag in the direction of the icon and just in case freeze in front of it in a moment pause (N. E. Sukhinina “The Icon of Unexpected Joy - the Image of the Mother of God”)

It reminds me of my native yard from childhood. I wish the temple prosperity!

The joy of ownership. So the spirit of the community is lacking now, but here it is. God's help to all!

Beautiful priest, friendly active community
