Mary Untier of Knots

I was recently introduced to Our Lady Untier of Knots.
Mother gave me a picture. London Eye gave me a novena booklet.

In your hands there is no 'knot' that may not be untied.


The painting depicts the Blessed Mother in heaven among angels.
She is untying the knots in a ribbon that is held for her by an angel on her left.
After untying the knots, Mary passes the untied ribbon to another angel on her right.
Mary crushes the head of the serpent with her foot.

An extra detail of the painting, not found in all of the images I have seen, has the archangel Raphael accompanying Tobias to the meeting with his wife Sarah as found in the book of Tobit.
