Mary and Religious Art.

A stained glass window of the virgin mary. Catholics do not believe as mary to be a god more as a carer for jesus, but prayers still ask her prayers.

Mary, the Mother of Jesus, stands holding her son in this statue, which, paired with the statue of her husband, Joseph the Carpenter. For Catholics, Mary is significant in many ways. As the person who would give birth to the Messiah, she was from the beginning untainted by the the original sin of Adam and Eve that overshadows all humanity.

St Joseph, the husband of Mary and earthly father of Jesus, looks out from the left-hand column flanking the Church sanctuary. In this position he complements the staute of St Mary with the Child Jesus

Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. — Luke 2:51b

And so I stood up to bring my little offering before Our Lady, before she who has held things both beautiful and painful in her heart.
