Title
Our Lady and the Christ Child
Description
This restored view depicts the Church of the Beloved Disciple's principal Marian statue holding the Christ Child, both crowned with floral wreaths for a feast day celebration. The image occupied a place of honor within the sanctuary and was carefully decorated by members of the congregation as an expression of reverence and beauty. It served as a focal point for prayer throughout the liturgical year and accompanied the parish during outdoor Marian processions through the streets of Manhattan.
