Roman Catholic Marian art

Okay kiddo, do you remember hearing about Mary, the mother of Jesus? Well, in the Roman Catholic Church, people really like her and think she's very important. So, they make lots of artwork that shows her.

When people make art of Mary, they usually show her in a special way. She's wearing special clothes and has a special crown on her head. Sometimes, she'll be holding baby Jesus or they'll both be surrounded by angels.

People make this art because they want to remember and honor Mary. They think that by making these pictures of her, they can feel closer to her and to Jesus. Plus, they just think she's really cool and want to show everyone how much they love her!
