Our Lady of Deliverance

The original is honored in Peking in the church of Beitang, China.

It was made in thanksgiving for the miraculous protection granted to those who defended the region during the Boxer Rebellion on August 15, 1900.

We remember Roe vs. Wade today.  Dearest Mother, please protect our children, especially against the anti-children ideology of our world.

My husband thinks the Emperor Jesus Christ has similarities in his face to those of our son, Gabriel.  I suppose that is my own love coming out in the brush.  I also think Our Lady looks a lot like my own mother.
