The number seven denotes the fullness of grief, sorrow and heartache experienced by the Virgin in her earthly life. In the practice of prayer, the distinction between the icons “Softener of Evil Hearts” and “The seven-arrow” is not made, since they belong to the same iconographic type. Believers are asked before the image of protection from evil people, defamations of ill-wishers, reconciliation of the warring, as well as to soften their own hearts, to get rid of evil thoughts and condemnation.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(118, 118, 118); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px; font-family: " open="" sans",="" georgia,="" helvetica,="" sans-serif;="" background-color:="" rgb(255,="" 255,="" 255);"="">On the other side of Mary pendant necklace is depicted St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the most revered saint in Russia.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(118, 118, 118); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: 24px; font-family: " open="" sans",="" georgia,="" helvetica,="" sans-serif;="" background-color:="" rgb(255,="" 255,="" 255);"="">He is honored as a healer of diseases, patron of travelers, especially by sea, an assistant in commerce, study, and also in search of a worthy spouse.</p>
