The Original Image of Divine Mercy was painted in Vilnius, Lithuania in 1935 by Polish artist, Professor Eugeniusz Kazimirowski, under the very close direction of Saint Faustina Kowalska. The image depicts her mystical vision of Jesus Who Himself asked her to “paint an image according to the pattern you see.” Unable to paint, she solicited the help of her spiritual director, Fr. Michael Sopocko, who knew of the fine work of Kazimirowski. Together, the three went on a six-month artistic excursion that would change the world. Fr. Sopocko occasionally posed as Merciful Jesus while Faustina meticulously described the extraordinary details of her vision for Kazimirowski.

What is spelled out in the Original Image of Divine Mercy is that Divine Mercy comes from the Body of Christ. And the Mystical Body of Christ is the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.

The Original Image of Divine Mercy is venerated in the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in Vilnius, Lithuania.
