Day Seven of Shrines for Mary

Our Lady of Lourdes

I Am the Immaculate Conception

 

The box is lined with pages from a vintage French novel
as well as the sheet music of 'Heaven'.
The statue of Mary is a replica of the 

statue at Lourdes : "I am the Immaculate Conception' -
the name that 

She revealed to Bernadette, the shepherdess
whom saw Her in the apparition of brilliance and Light. 

The tiny kneeling saint doll holds a miniature wooden rosary with an image of 

Saint Bernadette on. 

You may know that one of the instructions of the Virgin Mary to Bernadette was that people are to approach this sacred place of healing water, 

on their knees.

In the background is a handmade tarot card of The Sun Card no 19,
with a miniature golden statue of The Madonna.
Two other images are in the box, depicting the Virgin as the Sun.

The box stands on four round feet filled with wooden rosary beads and a blue rose, 

the symbol of the Madonna. 

The box is framed with gold chandelier beads and gold tassels.
 One gold chandelier bead is hanging from Mary's hands,
depicting the Grace that flows forth from Her.

The crown on top is a wooden crown covered in pure gold leaf.
