Icon of the Virgin and Child

Icon of the Virgin and Child

This icon of the Virgin and Child, painted by John Darcy Noble, served as the focal point of the Church of the Beloved Disciple's Marian shrine. Drawing upon the visual language of Eastern Christian iconography while reflecting Noble's own artistic vision, the image depicts Mary tenderly embracing the Christ Child as an expression of divine compassion and maternal care. The icon became one of the congregation's most cherished devotional works, inviting prayer and contemplation while embodying the church's commitment to beauty, tradition, and sacred art.
