Iconography and Symbolism
- Mary and Jesus: Mary’s gaze is directed toward the viewer, inviting us to seek her intercession, while she presents her Son, the Redeemer. Jesus, with a mature face symbolizing divine wisdom, clings to His mother’s hand after seeing a vision of His future Passion.
- The Angels: Archangels Michael and Gabriel hover at the top corners, carrying the instruments of Christ’s crucifixion (cross, nails, spear, and sponge on a reed) with veiled hands, showing reverence.
- The Sandal: One of Jesus’s sandals is loose and falling off, symbolizing His hasty movement to His mother or representing His dual divine and human natures.
- Colors and Background: The golden background represents the glory of Heaven and the Resurrection. Mary wears a red tunic (color of virgins) and a dark blue mantle (color of mothers), signifying her role as both Virgin and Mother of God. A star on her veil identifies her as the “Star of the Sea,” guiding us to Christ.
This plaque is a popular devotional item, serving as a visual guide for contemplation on the mysteries of the Incarnation, Passion, and Redemption of Christ.
