About this image
The Immaculate Heart of Mary revealed in classical Catholic devotional style -- Mary with one hand on her chest, showing her heart surrounded by red and white roses and pierced by a sword of sorrow. Golden rays emanate from the heart while a crown of twelve stars circles her head, fulfilling the vision from Revelation 12. The sword recalls Simeon's prophecy to Mary in the temple: "A sword shall pierce your own soul also" (Luke 2:35). The Immaculate Heart devotion gained worldwide prominence after the Fatima apparitions of 1917, when Mary specifically asked for devotion to her Immaculate Heart and the consecration of Russia. Pope Pius XII consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart in 1942. Today, the twin devotions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary are practiced daily by millions of Catholics worldwide.
