Throughout today’s world, the shrine still remains a place of hope of prayer for expectant mothers and their families and others seeking strength of belief. I decided to write in regards to the statue as a critique of a cultural a artifacts from the classical to the post-modern period, due to the fact I am a married Christian women that battle from infertility and is a strong believer in the Jesus Christ not of a image or a statue from a different religion other then what I was raise believing. I had a friend of my family that is a strong believer in her religion as a Catholic spoke to me about this statues and how many women had conceived and carried with child till full term and that her church group was heading to the chapel in St. Augustine, Florida for prayer. I did not want to be obedient. I respected her and listen to what she advised me. She was taking a trip in September 2016 to the Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche. I was not able to attend, so she called advised for me to place all I wanted and my trials and tribulation on a sheet of paper and listed them according to my faith and hope and she will deliver the letter in hand for me. So I did and I can say she came back with a couple of gifts for me to use as a daily routine prayer. I begin to have faith not towards the image she gave me but more into my faith in God and communicate on a higher level. I did become pregnant after 4 years of trying to conceive then weeks later miscarried. It really does have a connecting of communication through prayer on a consist level with a strength of faith towards what you are asking for in prayer. The image of a critique of cultural artifacts from the classical period is well respected and honor still today by mothers and mothers to
In the Mother's arms is the Divine Child, with those strange, far-away-looking eyes that casual visitors so little understand—eyes that even in babyhood seem reading the future, and beginning to see the greatness of the world's sorrow. Kneeling on one side, below them, is St. Sixtus, the nearest perfect of all pictures of strong and venerable age that was ever painted; on the other side Santa Barbara, only less beautif...
Statues and shrines of Our Lady of Consolation can be found in thousands of cities around the world. Constructed of marble, wood, or other stone, these replicas hold a special aura about them. One such sculpture of Our Lady of Consolation, located in Leopold, Indiana, has a fascinating history entirely its own. July 4, 2002 marked the 135th year since the statue had reached the shores of America (Hackmann 1). As the result of a promise, the replica of Our Lady found its new home in southern Indiana. Following their capture and shipment to the horrid Civil War prison at Andersonville, four young men—Isidore Naviaux, Henry Devillez, Lambert Rogier, and Xavier Rogier—endured appalling conditions and made an oath to pay tribute to Our Lady of Consolation if one survived.
The artwork is very interesting as the painting is very detailed and have a strong sense of symbolism behind the center piece. The content of the Monument to Mignard can be looked at a grieving woman thinking about her husband on a platform of a monument. There is two cupids grieving to the left of the man and in front of the woman. One cupid sitting on the edge of the platform clutching a dead bird on its arm, symbolizing that there is death between the two lovers. The other cupid that is standing up crying holding its right hand against the side of the man, which symbolize that the man has passed away and not among the living. There is an angel looking down at the vicinity of the man, woman, and the two cupids. The angel himself could be the angel of death, which takes the dead to heaven. The painting takes place inside building that is probably around the roman era because of the perfect arches and their integration of the Greek Doric columns. There is a total of eight columns, four on each side that supports the arch in the upper middle par...
In order to learn even more about my specimen’s metabolic functions, I ran an experiment using a type of differential medium called litmus milk. This differential medium or any other type allows me to actually see certain changes that occur in the tubes after a certain metabolic reaction has taken place (Black, 2015). For this experiment two tubes that contain skin milk and the pH indicator, litmus were inoculated with specimens Ca and Cb. My first litmus milk tube was inoculated with a strain of specimen Ca that was taken from my specimen Ca glucose tube. While my second litmus milk tube contained a strain of specimen Cb that was taken from my specimen Cb lactose tube. After inoculation, both litmus milk tubes were put in an incubator at 37°C
While comparing her time, theology and spiritual practice we realize she lived during the time of immense change, similarly we are living on the edge of a challenged modernity. Her spiritual direction allows us to recognize and develop further abilities in our pastoral ministries of caring for one another as participants within the corporate communities as well as within the mission fields.

This statue is the result of the sculptor, Richard Rahl, being kidnapped and forced into bondage in a land ruled by a despotic religious order. This order’s teachings insisted humanity was in a state of sin from birth, unworthy of the light and love of their Creator. This sin was greed. To labor for one’s own survival was to show hatred of your neighbor through greed thus leading to slavery in all but name. Art in this land was deemed vile if it showed humanity in any other light than decrepit and twisted, cringing from their Creator and its light.
The depiction of Madonna and Christ is among the most ancient and common in Christian iconography and has an extensive number of variations because apart from its symbolic religious functions, it allows one to interpret the link between mother and child in many aspects. (8)
On March 2nd, 2011, I traipsed to the corner of 242nd and Broadway, and hopped on the 1 train, embarking on a journey to the Rubin Museum to see the Embodying the Holy: Icons in Eastern Orthodox Christianity and Tibetan Buddhism. After about an hour train ride, I finally got off at the 18th Street station, and continued my way to the exhibit. Upon arrive to the museum at around 1:17 PM, I started walking around, and came across a very interesting looking statue.
...rom its beginning to current time. Every time I travel to visit my mother, who lives in the same house that I grew up in, I see the statue of The Lady and no matter if I am purposely looking or not, she stands out as a part of this city. The Winds of Change has evolved for me from being just “ugly” to showing the true purpose and meaning of the piece which represents women and is a tribute to the endurance and strength they possess.

As I walked into the first gallery, I saw a wood sculpture that stood in the center of the room. This carving depicted “the crucified Christ, flanked by the Virgin Mary and St. John the Evangelist with Angels holding instruments of the Passion”. It was painted oak and very appealing to the eye. It stood approximately 15 feet in the air. The origin of this sculpture is unknown, but it was found in a Belgium church. This kind of sculpture usually stood at the entrance or at the center of the alter in the church facing the congregation. This image of the suffering Christ relates to the Christian ideas of suffering and Christ’s salvation of all mankind.
The book Under the Feet of Jesus by Helena Maria Viramontes shows you the story of Estrella and her family and the struggles they face as migrant workers. Among all the symbolism in the book the one that stand out the most is Petra’s statue of Christ, which symbolizes the failure of religion and the oppressive nature of the Christian religion especially in minorities. Throughout the book, Estrella’s mother, Petra relies on superstitions and religion to get her through the hardships in life. In tough times, she turns to the statue and prays for guidance. Her thirteen-year-old daughter Estrella is the first of her family to realize that she needs to stop relying on religion and take control of her life. This brings in a wave of self-empowerment, not only for Estrella but eventually for all the characters as well. In the book, you’re able to see how religion exemplifies the failures of religion in minorities and how it hinders the growth of the characters while helping some of them.
