This Our Lady of Perpetual Help prayer candle carries one of the best known Marian icons in the Catholic world. It makes a meaningful Catholic gift for anyone devoted to the Mother of Perpetual Help, and a steady light for a home prayer corner.
About the icon. Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a Byzantine icon of the Cretan school. It reached Rome in the 15th century and was kept in the Church of San Matteo until 1798. In the 1860s Pope Pius IX entrusted it to the Redemptorists, who placed it in the Church of Saint Alphonsus on the Esquiline Hill in Rome, where it is still venerated. Her feast day is June 27.
In the icon, Mary points to her Son while the archangels Michael and Gabriel carry the instruments of the Passion. Many Catholics pray before it with the Perpetual Help novena.
Choose this candle for a Catholic home, a baptism or First Communion gift, a gift for a new mother, or for anyone who prays to Our Lady under this title.
