St. Anne and the Child Mary
St. Anne and the Child Mary
A tableau showing Mary and her mother, St. Anne, dressed in silk and velvet embroided with gold. Both figures have ivory heads and hands and are wearing wigs. Mary holds the ever present book in one hand.
Unlike most mothers, whose preoccupation would be teaching their female offspring household chores, St. Anne is always featured teaching Mary from the Book of the Holy Scriptures. This religiosity and her own immaculate conception prepared Mary for the singular honor to be the Mother of God.
published: Aba Ginoong Maria: The Virgin Mary in Philippine Art, p. 10., 12
