Narrative: This rotund image of the Virgin and Child celebrates both the openness and embrace of the maternal mystery. The Virgin Mother, wrapped in a Navajo blanket, protectively extends her hands in praise over the Child whose upturned face reflects the countenance of his mother’s innocence.
Traditional iconography gives witness to the human face of the Sacred. This icon, imaged in the features of America’s indigenous peoples, reveals anew that sacred power. It celebrates the soul of the Native American as the original spiritual presence on this continent, and as a prophetic sign, it celebrates the reconciliation of the spiritual vision of Native and Christian peoples of this land.
