Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Satin Gold Frame

Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patron of the Americas, comes in a fine detailed scroll work  satin gold frame.

The Image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is an icon, painted on wood, and seems to have originated around the thirteenth century.  The icon depicts Our Blessed Mother Mary, under the title "Mother of God," holding the Child Jesus.  The Archangels Michael and Gabriel, hovering in the upper corners, hold the instruments of the Passion - St. Michael holds the spear, the wine-soaked sponge, and the crown of thorns, and St. Gabriel holds the cross and the nails.  The intent of the artist was to portray the Child Jesus contemplating the vision of His future Passion.  The icon also conveys the triumph of Christ over sin and death, symbolized by the golden background and the manner in which the angels hold the instruments.
