Virgin and child

Post image for Virgin and Child

On his blog, Vera Young shared an image of Our Lady of Aparecida (Nossa Senhora Aparecida) interpretation, and the diagrams by Emilson Nunes.

The Virgin dark skin, venerated in the Catholic Church, is the patron saint of the Brazil. His feast is celebrated each year on October 12.

Painters and sculptors throughout the history of Western art have used their skills in the creation of images of the Virgin.

Image of Vera inspired me to create the version origami of the Virgin Mary shown on the photo here. Unlike our Lady of Aparecida, the Virgin is in his arms a child who is dressed in a white tunic.
