About the Devotion

The devotion comes from a painting made around 1700 by Johann Georg Melchior Schmidtner for the Church of St. Peter am Perlach in Augsburg, Germany. It recalls the words of St. Irenaeus: "The knot of Eve's disobedience was loosed by the obedience of Mary." A young Jesuit priest, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, saw the painting while studying in Germany in the 1980s and brought the devotion home to Argentina. As Pope Francis he helped spread it around the world.

How tall is the statue?

It stands 12 inches tall and 4 inches wide.

What does "Undoer of Knots" mean?

The title describes Mary's intercession in untangling the "knots" of sin and difficulty in our lives, drawn from St. Irenaeus' teaching that Mary's obedience undid Eve's disobedience.

Is the statue painted by hand?

Yes. It is hand-painted in full color, so small variations from piece to piece are normal.

Because each piece is finished by hand, slight variations in color and detail are normal and are part of its character.
