This is an image of Mary, in what some would call the classic Virgen del Rosario pose. This one was taken in a small church in San Miguel de Allende. My favorite description of her comes from Beverly Donofrio's book
Looking for Mary, or The Blessed Mother and Me. She wrote that this statue, with a golden haired Mary (and golden haired Jesus) and puffy dress looks much like
Glinda, in the Wizard of OZ. And so she does. The chapel is small and cozy, and it has a feeling of spirituality that the larger chapels don't impart.
