Our Lady of Perpetual Help is very famous. The largest icon we have in our icon corner is this one. The original is from 12-13th century Crete. It was stolen by an Italian merchant in the 1400s and taken to Rome and eventually put in a church there.

When you say your prayers tonight, say them in front of this icon and kiss Panagia and Christ while crossing yourself before and after your prayers. If you have a votive candle, light in front of the icon before you pray. It will be a blessing for you.
