Madonna of humility

The Madonna of Humility is an artwork that shows a very special kind of lady. She is usually depicted sitting on a flat surface, usually a cushion, with her head bowed and her hands in prayer. She is usually surrounded by symbols that represent her humility, such as a halo over her head, a pair of white doves, and flowers around her. It is thought that these symbols represent her submission to a higher power. The Madonna of Humility is often seen in churches, homes, and museums as a reminder to us to remember the importance of humility in our lives.
