The Virgin Mary, Mother of God, holds a unique and exalted place in Christian devotion. Catholics, Orthodox, and many Protestant Christians venerate Mary as the woman chosen by God to bear his Son. From the Annunciation to the Assumption, her life is celebrated in feast days throughout the liturgical year. Our collection features the most beloved Marian images -- the Madonna and Child, Our Lady of Guadalupe (patron of the Americas), the Immaculate Heart, and the tender Pieta. Mary is particularly dear to communities in Latin America, the Philippines, Poland, and Italy, where her images are carried in grand processions and displayed in homes and churches.
