A Virgin A Day.......Day 9

Saint Anne and The Virgin Mary..................


As I have been thinking so much about Mary this week, I found myself
wondering about her as a child.
As a young woman.
I found this painting depicting Mary as a child with her mother Saint Anne
and thought it was so beautiful I wanted to share this with all of you
for Day 9 .

    I had similar thoughts this week though I never followed through on them. St. Anne is a wonderful saint to look up to for guidance and comfort.

    This is such a nice picture. You know, I never think about Mary really. I just know I like the Virgin of Guadalupe pictures so much and am thinking how few pictures we have of great women and perhaps the Virgin pictures represent the greatness of all women and things like her aura add to the special uniqueness of women.

    Very cool. I guess she had to have been a child at some point. She must have been good since the Most High chose her for the Son of God. Thanks for sharing.

    Peace

    Oh I love this. St. Anne was my Confirmation saint name. I love the story of Anne.

    This is a side of Mary we often forget: her childhood. Thanks for the reminder.

    Mary was just a girl still when she gave birth to Jesus. I'm not sure I would have reacted as gracefully if the angel came to me. Beautiful.

    We are certainly getting an education from this week's research! Thank you for this charming image.
