Virgin of Extreme Humility

The Holy Virgin Mary has been venerated since early Christianity, and is considered by millions to be the most meritorious saint of the religion. She is said to have miraculously appeared to believers many times over the centuries.
The Eastern and Oriental Orthodox, Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran churches believe that Mary, as mother of Jesus, is the Theotokos (Mother of God) (Greek: Θεοτόκος, romanized: Theotokos, lit. ‘God-bearer’).
There is significant diversity in the Marian beliefs and devotional practices of major Christian traditions. The Catholic Church holds distinctive Marian dogmas, namely her status as the Mother of God, her Immaculate Conception,
her perpetual virginity, and her Assumption into heaven. Many Protestants minimize Mary’s role within Christianity, basing their argument on the lack of biblical support for any beliefs other than the virgin birth (actually a virginal conception).
The Holy Virgin Mary also has the highest position in Islam among all women. She is mentioned in the Quran more often than in the Bible, where two of the longer chapters of the Quran are devoted to her and her family.

On January 2nd, 1833 the great ascetic, Christian mystic, wonder-worker and spiritual giant, Saint Seraphim of Sarov, reposed in his hermitage in the woods not far from Sarov Monastery. He was found kneeling in prayer before an icon of the Most Holy Mother of God which had served as an inspiration for him throughout his life: The Theotokos of Tenderness or the Umilenie (Russian: Умиление).

The icon is rare within Orthodox Christianity in that it shows the Mother of God without the infant Christ in her arms. The reason for this is because it is a depiction of the Holy Virgin at the moment of the Annunciation (Luke 1:24-38).
With arms prayerfully folded in submission to the Lord, her eyes downcast in humility, she is at the point of uttering her salvific reply to the Archangel Gabriel: “Let it be to me according to thy word.”
