Our Lady Help of Christians Panel #14650
Crowned with regal dignity, Mary stands bearing the Christ Child, who extends his arms in invitation. Both wear royal garments, and Mary holds a scepter—a symbol of divine authority. The infant Jesus is also crowned, affirming his kingship and unity with his mother. This devotional image draws from 19th-century Marian iconography, particularly associated with the title “Help of Christians,” venerated for intercession and protection. A vanquished figure at her feet recalls triumph over evil. The soft gold backdrop enhances their glory, while their serenity radiates compassion and spiritual strength.
