Eleusa, Our Lady of Tenderness
Our Lady of Tenderness is a title for an ancient iconographic tradition in which Mary is depicted with her cheek tenderly pressed to the cheek of the infant Christ. The most famous icon in this tradition has been the object of devotion in Assumption Cathedral in Moscow since the 14th century – but the icon itself is far older.
