"M" is for "M"ary --it's ABC Wednesday again !

Well folks, I'm neither Catholic or even very religious (churches do tend to spook me out a bit), but I DO recognize beauty when I see it...   I found this slightly larger than life statue in the tiny church in tiny town of Tomales, California...

Your Mary really is especially beautiful and realistic, and a bit enigmatic.
Thanks for sharing her.
Shalom from her home country.

Beautiful
Sorry I am late in visiting but I was away last week and have only just posted my 'M' in time to do this week's on Wednesday

the statue actually looks like saint therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face. since i cannot see the entire statue, i don't know who it is. if you had a full shot of the photo, i could tell you. anyhow, your patron saint that you requested, is madeleine sophie-barat for 2009.
