    Esther these are just beautiful pictures of Mary. I've never seen a couple of them before and they are a real treasure...of course SHE is our real heavenly treasure.

    This is really beautiful, Esther. So many titles, so many devotees all loving the one lady, Our Lady and Mother. I have never seen depictions like these before - and so my day has been blessed by coming here.
