What is the origin of this painting?
This painting called Icon of Divine Mercy was painted in Vilnius (Lithuania) following the instructions given by Saint Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938) according to a vision she received from Jesus on February 22, 1931. “After a moment,” she wrote in her Little Journal, Jesus said to me: “Paint a picture according to the image you see, with the inscription: “Jesus, I trust in You.” I want this image to be honored, first in your chapel, then throughout the world. I promise that the soul who honors this image will not be lost. I also promise him victory over his enemies here below, and especially at the hour of death.” »
