It became very popular in Italy in the 15th and 17th centuries. During this era among the Augustinian orders, it was handed it over to the Redemptorist Fathers. Through popular missions, the Sons of Saint Alphonsus Maria de' Liguori spread the cult of this Madonna throughout the world. The Mother embraces the frightened Baby Jesus, as a sign that she will embrace each of us, recognizing in each of us her crucified son. In the image the Angels present the instruments of the Passion to Baby Jesus. The Child shows the human feeling of anguish before the angels.
