The history of the icon is firmly connected with the Vatopedsky monastery on Afone, and also with Emperor Feodosiyem Great, whose son, Arkady, fell from a ship in the sea during a storm. This emergency happened not far from the monastery in 395 years. The ship barely stuck to the Afon coast. Arkady's travelers searched for the lifeless body in the coastal strip, but in despair they tried to return to the ship. At the last moment the bush attracted everyone's attention. When everyone came closer to him, they saw the tsar's son quietly sleeping in the shade of the bush. He told his friends what saved his intervention with the Blessed Mother, whom he came to treat in the last second of life before the apparent demise. Emperor Feodosi Great helped the formation of the monastery on the site of the miraculous salvation of his son. The monastery was called Watoped, which in Greek means “the boy's bush”. In the altar of the cathedral temple the wise men placed Presvyatoy of the Mother of God and called the icon "joy", after years another word was added - "consolation". It happened after the miraculous saved the Vatopedsky monastery from robbers and robbery, such attack was completed in 807 year.
