Visions of Mary
Item Number: 60733
The Blessed Virgin Mary inspires intense religious devotion throughout the Catholic world. In her 350 official apparitions — among them Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Lourdes, and The Mother of Sorrows — Mary brings a feminine face to Catholic devotion, and serves as a conduit for the redemption of humanity. This beautiful and timeless book by the authors of the book Holy Cards explores Mary's many visionary appearances throughout history and their significance, and examines the iconography surrounding the most famous of these visions. Catholics honor the woman they venerate as the Mother of God through special novena prayers. The Marian prayer cards displayed here, along with other examples of vernacular art illustrating Mary's various appearances, form an exquisite but accessible treasury of the many facets of the Holy Mother. With its radiantly illustrated iconography; its eternal theme; and its rare collection of holy cards, Visions of Mary should inspire believers and all those interested in art and religious iconography.
