The Byzantine icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
The original Perpetual Help Icon is painted on wood. It has measures of 53 cm. high by 41.5 cm. Wide. Despite its apparent simplicity, the Icon is full of symbolism and meaning. A precious catechesis centered on the Paschal Mystery: birth, life, passion, death and Resurrection of Christ.
Four figures can be seen in the Byzantine icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help .
Our Lady of Perpetual Help and the Child Jesus
The Virgin is represented standing but we can only see half her body. He wears a red tunic and a navy blue cloak with green trim. She wears a hairnet that collects her green hair. The Virgin looks at the viewer with sad eyes, aware of the suffering that is to come, but also full of hope. She looks at us waiting for us to approach her in search of comfort, as a mother comforts her son, as the Church comforts her faithful. The Child Jesus rests on the lap of his Mother. He grabs the Virgin's hand tightly because something has frightened him. He is represented right in the center of the painting and we can see his entire body. One of the most symbolic details of the painting is the sandal of the Child Jesus, the sandal that almost falls off but remains attached to the foot by a small strap. It is represented in this way that there is always hope, which from the theological point of view is the Church, in which we will always find protection and love.
