Known in the Catholic Church as Our Lady of Perpetual Help, the icon that this medal is fashioned after is called the Theotokos of the Passion. The Theotokos (God-bearer) holds Christ and looks directly at the viewer rather than at her Son. On the left, the Archangel Michael carries the lance and sponge of Christ's crucifixion. The Archangel Gabriel, on the right, holds a three-bar cross and nails.
