Pope Francis is responsible for the spread of devotion to Mary as the one who untangles the knots in our lives. This devotion originated in Germany in the 17th century. The following century, it became more formal when an artist created an image of Mary untying knots, which was placed in St. Peter’s Church in Augsburg.
This icon is a Byzantine interpretation of the original German devotion. The Christ child on Mary’s lap puts into proper perspective her role as one who intercedes with God on our behalf.
