Last year I had the priviledge of joining in with other bloggers - serious bloggers - unlike myself, in Virgin A Day meme with the lovely Rebecca over at recuerda mi corazon.
I could hardly contain myself, when I realized that December first was almost upon us, and the beginning of another 12 days of "Mary". I have a special relationship with The Blessed Virgin, she is ever with me, whether I am aware or not. I just love catching those special glimpses of her....
This is a new image of her I've not seen before. I found it searching the web, and I don't know the artist, but would like to find out who it is. I find it interesting that each artist has his/her own idea of how Mary looked. Although she was definitely not fair skinned such as this depiction, I'm sure Mother Mary appreciates the beauty of it. I love the sweet smile, it makes me smile too.
Be sure to have a peek at recuerda me corazon for the other offerings of Virgin A Day - Mornings With Mary. I'm sure you will be pleased with what you find. Join in if you are so inclined!
Thanks again Rebecca, I am pleased to be a part of your project!
Peace be with you,
Shannon
Hi, Shannon! So nice to read your comment on my blog - thank you.
ReplyDeleteI think that the beauty of The Virgin is Her ability to appear and speak to people in a form that they understand.
Lovely - I have made a soulcollage with this image before.
ReplyDeleteHettienne, any idea who the artist is?
DeleteI can't help but notice the thorns behind Mary...
