Today is the feast of Our Lady Help of Christians, the patroness of Australia. The feast was instituted in 1815 by Pius VII after being freed from prison. He had been arrested in 1808 by Napolean and freed on the eve of the feast of Our Lady of Mercy.

I didn't know it was her feast day today! Thank you!
You're welcome!
What a beautiful image. I completely forgot to post about this Feast day because of other things going on that I wanted to post about.
Thanks for the reminder.
