The picture of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is said to have been brought from Crete to Rome in the 15th century by a merchant who, upon his dying, asked that Our Lady be placed in a Church for public veneration. The picture was enshrined in St. Matthew’s Church for 300 years. When the French invaded Rome, St. Matthew’s was destroyed and the Augustinian fathers transferred Our Lady to St. Eusebius. The image was moved to St. Mary of Posterula where it hung in a side chapel for forty years.
