The copy of the image of Mary Help of Christians was painted by academic painter Leon Koporc in 1972, who also made a copy for New York in the USA. The image was placed on the altar of St. Joseph, where only a cross and candleholders stood on a slightly raised extension of the mensa. According to Fr. Anton Jerman’s recollections, the image “somehow leaned” on the cross. To give greater honor to Mary Help of Christians, and also because the image had to be removed every Advent and Christmas to make room for the nativity scene, the aforementioned priest had the image moved to its current location. The image of Mary Help of Christians now occupies a space in the middle of the right nave, opposite the missionary cross, which has remained on the left side all these years. In front of the image of Mary Help of Christians, a kneeler was also placed, and the lighting of candles was introduced. In 1996, carver Bergant completed the frame for the image of Mary Help of Christians. Since then, the image has been even more venerated, with people stopping to light candles and pray. On the kneeler, there is a plaque with the inscription (work of the Jeraš engravers): “In memory of the visit of Pope John Paul II to Slovenia, May 17-19, 1996.” To the left of this inscription is an engraving of the Pope, holding the staff with the cross in his left hand, while blessing with his right hand. On the right side of the kneeler, it says: “Consecration of the Vič parish to the Immaculate Virgin. Blessing of the new frame for the image of the Brežje Madonna. On the feast of Mary Help of Christians, May 24, 1996.” The plaque is mounted on the kneeler at an angle, attached to the back edge of the upper “shelf” of the kneeler. On the backrest of the kneeler, two plates are installed with engraved text. To the left is the consecration prayer to the Immaculate Virgin, and to the right is the inscription: “On Brezje, your throne is, on Brezje, you are at home. You, the mother of all Slovenians, greeted be Mary.”
