Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary given by Pope Pius IX. The icon features the child Jesus fleeing into his Mother's protective arms as the Archangels Michael and Gabriel show Him the instruments of crucifixion (the cross, nails, lance, sponge). The Greek letters spell out the first letters of Mary and Jesus' names. The icon has been in Rome since 1499, and is permanently enshrined in the church of Sant Alfonso di Liguori It was then that deterioration of the image was discovered; the wood, as well as the paint, had suffered from environmental changes and prior attempts at restoration. Today, replicas of the image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help grace the altars of countless churches throughout the world.
