Vatican Micro-Mosaic of "Madonna del Perpetuo Soccorso", 19th Century

About the Item

An original Vatican Micro-Mosaic of "Madonna del Perpetuo Soccorso", 19th century. This is an absolutely beautiful "Studio Del Mosaico" handmade micro mosaic icon of "Madonna del Perpetuo Soccorso" (Our Lady of Perpetual Help). The Blessed Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus. The faces and hands are made of minute glass tiles. There is a shimmery gold tile halo and gold tile background. These were made at the Vatican, and there is a wonderful history of these mosaics being made there. History - Our Lady of Perpetual Help (also known as Our Lady of Perpetual Succour) is a Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary as represented in a celebrated 15th-century Byzantine icon also associated with the same Marian apparition. The icon originated from the Keras Kardiotissas Monastery and has been in Rome since 1499. Today it is permanently enshrined in the Church of Saint Alphonsus, where the official Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help text is prayed weekly. On 23 June 1867, Pope Pius IX granted the image its Canonical Coronation along with its present title. The Redemptorist Congregation of priests and brothers are the only religious order currently entrusted by the Holy See to protect and propagate a Marian religious work of art. In the Eastern Orthodox Church iconography, the image is known as the ”Virgin Theotokos of the Passion” due to the instruments of the Passion of Jesus Christ present on the image. The feast day of the image is celebrated on June 27, with novena devotions held every Wednesday. Under Pope Pius XII's Pontificate, the image was designated as the national Patroness of the Republic of Haiti and Almoradi, Spain. Due to promotion by the Redemptorist Priests since 1865, the image has become very popular among Roman Catholics. Modern reproductions are oftentimes displayed in residential homes, commercial establishments, and public transportation.
