The Divine Mercy Devotion (similar to devotion to the Sacred Heart) had its origin in the now approved revelations made to St. Faustina Kowalska (1905 – 1938). This devotion has the blessing of the Church and was especially promulgated by Pope Johnpaul II who declared Sister Faustina a saint in millennium year.

The Divine Mercy image is the image of Risen Christ on the first Easter, on the evening of the Resurrection, miraculously appearing in the upper room and bestowing on the apostles the power to forgive sins.
