Today Johnnette explains about Our Lady, Help of Christians. Instituted by Pope Pius VII after by order of Napoleon I of France, the Pope was arrested on 5 June 1808, and detained a prisoner first at Grenoble, and then at Fontainebleau.[4] In January 1814, after the battle of Leipzig, he was brought back to Savona and set free on 17 March, on the eve of the feast of Our Lady of Mercy. The pontiff, attributing the victory of the Church after so much agony and distress to the Blessed Virgin, visited many of her sanctuaries on the way and crowned her images. The people crowded the streets to catch a glimpse of the venerable pontiff who had so bravely withstood the threats of Napoleon.
