Though she is mentioned less than 20 times in the New Testament, Mary--mother of Jesus and queen of the saints--has become a universal symbol of feminine wisdom and succor. An elegant and eclectic celebration brings together classic images of Mary, tributes to her by the great writers, and true-life stories of her miracles and visitations. Here you will find 24 full-color paintings by artists such as Caravaggio, El Greco, and Botticelli, as well as verse and prose by Dante Gabriel Rosetti ("Mary's Girlhood"), Thomas Merton, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Percy Shelly, and Oscar Wilde. There are also accounts of Mary sightings both famous (Guadalupe, Fatima) and obscure; listings of Black Madonnas and other Mary shrines and relics; and key passages from scripture and the Apocrypha.
