Γιατί η Θεοτόκος έχει επτά σπαθιά

Τα σπαθιά που κρατά η Παναγία στη θαυματουργή εικόνα συμβολίζουν κάθε νίκη επί κάθε εκδήλωσης του «πονηρού». Κάθε σπαθί αντιπροσωπεύει έναν συγκεκριμένο τύπο «κακού».

Τι αντιπροσωπεύει κάθε σπαθί της Θεοτόκου:

1. Το πρώτο δόρυ συμβολίζει την εξουδετέρωση από τα μάγια, καθώς και τις αρνητικές επιρροές και τους πειρασμούς που μπορεί να φέρουν.
2. The second sword refers to diseases, particularly those of the mind and psychological disorders.
3. The third spear reflects problems related to marriage, fertility, and children.
4. The fourth spear concerns personal problems and accidents.
5. The fifth spear symbolizes envy, the evil eye, gossip, and generally malicious actions that lead to negative influence.
6. The sixth spear refers to deceptions, injustice, and betrayal.

The Significance of the Number Seven in the Bible

The Bible teaches that the number seven is a symbol of completeness and abundance.

In the icon of the Theotokos with the Seven Swords, the immense pain of her heart and the sorrow she endured during her earthly journey is depicted. The fullness of the grief and agony she experienced stems from the Divine Passion of Jesus Christ, and his Crucifixion.
