Did you know?
Our Lady of Perpetual Help is one of Catholicism's most beloved icons, venerated since the 15th century. Originating in Ethiopia before reaching Italy, this image of Mary gazing protectively at the Christ Child became a symbol of intercession and maternal compassion. The crossed-legs pose of the infant and Mary's tender, slightly sorrowful gaze capture a moment of divine intimacy—a visual prayer for those seeking her protection through suffering.

Perfect as a framed devotional piece or gift for those who cherish traditional Orthodox iconography in needlework form.
