Our Lady of Perpetual Help

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Also known as Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, is celebrated on  June 27 by the universal Church. The devotion to this Marian advocation revolves around the picture of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour,  painted on wood, with background of gold. It is Byzantine in style and is supposed to have been painted in the thirteenth century. It represents the Mother of God holding the Divine Child while the Archangels Michael and Gabriel presenting  Him the instruments of His Passion. Over the figures in the picture are some Greek letters which form the abbreviated words Mother of God, Jesus Christ, Archangel Michael, and Archangel Gabriel respectively.  The icon  was brought to Rome towards the end of the fifteenth century by a pious merchant, who, dying there, ordered by his will that the picture should be exposed in a church for public veneration. It was exposed in the church of San Matteo in the famous Roman street of Via Merulana, which connects the basilicas
