The name of the icon derives from the 9th song of the Orthodox Holy Saturday canon: “Weep not for me, O Mother, beholding in the sepulchre the Son whom thou hast conceived without seed in thy womb. For I shall rise and shall be glorified, and as God I shall exalt in everlasting glory those who magnify thee with faith and love.” Anonymous icon
