{"product_id":"visions-of-mary","title":"Visions of Mary","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Virgin Mary inspires intense religious devotion throughout the Catholic world. In her 350 official incarnations-among them Our Lady of Fatima  Our Lady of Guadalupe  Our Lady of Lourdes  and The Mother of Sorrows-Mary brings a feminine face to worship  and serves as a conduit for the redemption of humanity. This beautiful and timeless book by the authors of the Abrams title Holy Cards explores Marys many visionary appearances throughout history and their significance  and examines the iconography surrounding the most famous of these visions.  Catholics honor the woman they venerate as the Mother of God through special novena prayers. The Marian prayer cards displayed here  along with other examples of vernacular art illustrating Marys various appearances  form an exquisite but accessible treasury of the many facets of the Holy Mother. With its radiantly illustrated iconography; its eternal theme; and its rare collection of holy cards  Visions of Mary should inspire believers and all those interested in art and religious iconography.
