Divine Mercy Image of Jesus - Meaning, History & Devotion #3463094 (License: Personal Use)

This depiction of Jesus, known as the Divine Mercy image, was painted based on visions reported by Saint Faustina Kowalska in the 1930s. Jesus is shown with His right hand raised in blessing and His left hand touching His heart, from which two luminous rays-red (blood) and pale (water)-flow outward, representing mercy and redemption. The halo of light behind His head signifies divinity and holiness.

Commonly used in Catholic churches, prayer cards, websites, and devotional materials, especially around Divine Mercy Sunday (the Sunday after Easter). It serves spiritual, educational, and liturgical purposes for believers seeking comfort, repentance, and grace.
