Our Lady of Perpetual Aide II European Wall Art
Our Lady of Perpetual Aide Italian woven tapestry depicts a church set scene containing the Virgin Mary. Also known as Our Lady of Perpetual Help or Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, this image is a Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary as represented in a celebrated 15th-century Byzantine icon. The icon has been in Rome since 1499, and is permanently enshrined in the church of Sant'Alfonso di Liguori, where the official Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help text is prayed weekly. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, this artistic iconography is known as the Virgin of the Passion or Theotokos of the Passion due to the instruments of the Passion present on the image.
