Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a title for the Blessed Virgin Mary as depicted in a well known 15th-century Byzantine icon at the church of Sant'Alfonso di Liguori in Rome, Italy. An exact mosaic copy of this famous icon is located in the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the small town of La Crucecita, Mexico.
The image is set against a gold background and depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary wearing dark red dress with a blue mantle and cloaked veil. Mary looking forward while holding the hands of her son, Jesus. Characteristically the left sandal of Jesus is shown falling from his foot. The two angels in the background are Michael, on the left, and Gabriel, on the right. The mosaic is located in an alcove known as the Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help (Capilla De Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro).
