This small icon was inspired by the Seraphim-Diveyevo Icon of the Mother of God.
Seraphim-Diveyevo icon belonged to our venerable and God-bearing father St Seraphim of Sarov (Russian ascetic who lived at the Sarov Monastery in the 18th century). It is said that the Saint anointed the sick with the oil from the lamp burning before the icon, and the sick would receive healing.
The ascetic died while at prayer before the icon on January 2, 1833. After the death of St Seraphim of Sarov the monastery Superior Father Niphon gave the holy "Tenderness" icon to the sisters of the Seraphim-Diveyevo monastery. (Taken from angelfire.com)
