  1. What beautiful pictures! I can imagine that the fragrance within the church with flowers and incense and maybe even the fabulous perfume oils from India was intoxicating.

  4. I just came from visiting a Mary with a menorah, and now she is in a sari. All these wonderful Marys. She is definitely everywhere.

  9. I love these photos by your friend who shows her and the baby dressed anew each day. That is quite a labor of love of the people who do that.

  11. What a beautiful tradition it is to change Mary's sari each day! In Mexico, I'm familiar with the attention and care given to dressing the Madonnas for holy days...but not EVERY DAY! Lovely!
