1). Immaculate Conception:
The Immaculate Conception of Mary is,
according to Catholic doctrine, the conception
of the Virgin Mary without any stain ("macula"
in Latin) of Original Sin. It is one of the four
dogmas in Roman Catholic Mariology. Under
this aspect Mary is sometimes called
the Immaculata (the Immaculate One),
particularly in artistic contexts.
2). La Pieta:
Pietà is a subject in Christian art
depicting the Virgin Mary cradling the
dead body of Jesus, most often found
in sculpture. As such, it is a particular
form of the Lamentation of Christ, a
scene from the Passion of Christ found in
cycles of the Life of Christ. When Christ
and the Virgin are surrounded by other
figures from the New Testament, the
subject is strictly called a Lamentation in
English, although Pietà is often used for
this as well, and is the normal term in
Italian.
3). Our Lady of Peace:
Our Lady of Peace is a title of the Blessed
Virgin Mary in the Roman Catholic Church. She
is represented in art holding a dove and
an olive branch, symbols of peace. Our Lady of
Peace is the patroness of the Congregation of
the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary religious
order, founded by Peter Coudrin in Paris during
the French Revolution. When the Congregation
of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary
established the Catholic Church in Hawaii, they
consecrated the Hawaiian Islands under the
protection of Our Lady of Peace. They erected
the first Roman Catholic Church in Hawaii to
her. Today, the Cathedral of Our Lady of
Peace in Honolulu is the oldest Roman
Catholic cathedral in continuous use in the
United States.
4) Rosa Mystica:
Rosa Mystica – literally meaning "Mystical Rose"
appeared to a young nurse, Pierina Gilli
approximately seven times, though no one knows
the exact number. She came to Gilli wearing an
beautiful white gown with a white veil over her
head. She always carried a single pink rose in
her hands.
5) Our Lady of Lourdes:
Our Lady of Lourdes is the name used to refer
to the Marian apparition that appeared before
various individuals in separate occasions
around Lourdes, France. The apparitions of Our
Lady of Lourdes began on 11 February 1858,
when Saint Bernadette Soubirous, a 14-year-old
peasant girl from Lourdes admitted, when
questioned by her mother, that she had seen a
"lady" in the cave of Massabielle, about a mile
from the town, while she was gathering
firewood with her sister and a friend. Similar
[1]
appearances of the "lady" took place on
seventeen further occasions that year. Bernadette Soubirous was canonized as
a saint, and many Christians believe her apparitions to have been of the
Blessed Virgin Mary. Pope Pius IX authorized the local bishop to permit the
veneration of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes in 1862.
6) Nuestra Señora de Paloma:
La Virgen de la Paloma is a Marian
devotion of Madrid (Spain). Yet still the patron
saint of the town (place of Almudena), it has
traditionally enjoyed great popular devotion and
honor is held annually
around holidays very pure, traditional. This is a
relatively recent tradition, dating from the late
eighteenth.
The image of the Virgin is a painting rather
than the traditional size. The box is located
at the center of a tableau set in
the Parroquia de la Virgen de la Paloma and
San Pedro el Real, located at number 19,
Rue de la Paloma in La Latina, also taking
another entry the streets of Toledo.
7). Our Lady of Fatima:
Our Lady of Fátima is a title given to
the Blessed Virgin Mary with respect to
reported apparitions of her to three
shepherd children at Fátima in Portugal on
the 13th day of six consecutive months in
1917, starting on May 13. The three
children were Lúcia Santos and her
cousins, siblings Jacinta and Francisco
Marto. The title of Our Lady of the
Rosary is also sometimes used in
reference to the same apparition because
the children related that the apparition
specifically identified herself as the "Lady
of the Rosary". It is also common to see
a combination of these titles, i.e. Our Lady
of the Rosary of Fátima. The events at
Fatima gained particular fame due to their
elements of prophecy and eschatology,
particularly with regard to possible world
war and the conversion of Russia. The
[1]
reported apparitions at Fatima were
officially declared
"Worthy of belief" by the Catholic Church.
8) Regina Coeli:
The Regina Caeli or Regina Coeli an
ancient Latin Marian Hymn of the Christian
Church, is one of the four
seasonal Marian antiphons of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, prescribed to be sung or
recited in the Liturgy of the Hours at the
conclusion of the last of the hours to be
prayed in common that day, typically night
prayer (Compline or Vespers). The Regina
Caeli is sung or recited in place of
the Angelus during the Easter season,
from Holy through Pentecost Sunday.
The Latin word coelum, meaning "heaven"
was a common medieval and early
modern spelling of Caelum, which was the
only form in Classical Latin. In mediaeval
Latin, ae and oe were both pronounced
the form was also influenced by an
extremely dubious etymology from
Greek koilos, "hollow".
9) Our Lady of New Advent:
Our Lady of the New Advent is relatively
new. However, it is one of a myriad of
beautiful icons of our Lady whose life "at
the ready", always listening for the Lord
and open to His comings is the heart of
this season.
10) Immaculate Conception:
The Immaculate Heart of Mary originally The
Sacred Heart of Mary is a devotional name
used to refer to the interior life of Mary, her joys
and sorrows, her virtues and hidden
perfections, and, above all, her virginal love for
her God, her maternal love for her Son, Jesus,
and her compassionate love for all people. The
consideration of Mary's interior life and the
beauties of her soul, without any thought of her
physical heart, do not constitute the traditional
devotion; still less does it consist in the
consideration of the Heart of Mary merely as a
part of her virginal body. In 1855 the Mass of
the Most Pure Heart formally became a part of
Catholic practice. The two elements are
essential to the devotion, just as, according to
Roman Catholic theology, soul and body are
necessary to the constitution of man.
