Icons of the Mother of God Tenderness are considered “feminine”, since, basically, women of all ages turn to them for help with their joys and sorrows. Before the image of the Mother of God of Tenderness, they pray for the conception and safe birth of children. Most often, young girls and women resort to the icon for help. Even ten-year-old girls ask the Mother of God for their healthy physical and spiritual development. Such an icon will be a good gift for a girl of transitional age from a teenager to a girl. It can also be given as a birthday present to a young woman who has recently gotten married and is about to give birth to a child.
