Our Lady of Venezuela - Virgen de Coromoto. 2017 by Stephen B Whatley
"A painted prayer for peace in Venezuela - created on the 36th anniversary of my mother's passing, August 5, 2017.
I am always fascinated to learn of international devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary - through miraculous visitations; and a dear friend of mine, born in Venezuela, showed me a prayer card of Virgen de Coromoto 3 years ago - which partly inspired this new tribute.
The devotion dates back to the early 1650s; which is succinctly summarised in the Wikipedia link below. Peace ! " - Stephen B. Whatley.
