Mary Untier of Knots or Mary Undoer of Knots is the name of both a Marian devotion and a Baroque painting (German: Wallfahrtsbild or Gnadenbild) which represents that devotion. The painting by Johann Georg Melchior Schmidtner of around 1700 is in the Catholic pilgrimage church of St. Peter am Perlach otherwise known as the Perlach church in Augsburg Bavaria Germany. Pope Francis saw the image while in Germany as a student and promoted her veneration in Latin America.
