Our Lady of Perpetual Help, also known as Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, is a beloved title of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her famous Byzantine icon, dating from the thirteenth to fifteenth century and originating on the island of Crete, shows the Child Jesus gazing at the instruments of His Passion held by the Archangels Michael and Gabriel. He has run to His Mother so swiftly that a sandal has slipped from His foot, and she holds Him close while looking out at us, inviting us to come to her as well. Brought to Rome in 1499, the icon is today entrusted to the Redemptorists.
