The front holds the icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, the crowned and veiled Virgin holding the Child, who grips her hand and turns to look up, while two small angels hover above with the cross and the lance. The back shows a haloed young religious with his arms crossed on his breast, a small cross at his shoulder and a skull resting on the table beside him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe legend around him reads \u003cem\u003eSANCTE GERARDE MAELLA ORA PRO NOBIS\u003c\/em\u003e, Saint Gerard Majella pray for us, the surname cast in the older spelling.
