During her vacation in Spain in August, US First Lady Michelle Obama revealed that her husband President Barack Obama always carries a picture of Mary Help of Christians in his wallet.
According to the parish priest of Santa Maria la Mayor in Ronda, Michelle told him "her husband always carries with him a photograph with an image of Mary Help of Christians, to whom, those present reported, the first family of the United States has great devotion".
Devotion to Mary under the title Help of Christians goes back to the European victory over the Turkish forces at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571.
