I went to the fall Festival of the Arts at the Holy Trinity Monastery in St. David, Arizona today with some of the girls, including my blogging friend Marie at A Colorful World! It's always so nice to get to spend time with just the girls! :)
We had a great time, there were a lot of neat craft vendors, we spent money, had lunch, wandered the beautiful grounds of the monastery and spent some reflective time in Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. This lovely statue was in the church. I was really moved by her Hispanic/Native American style and I just couldn't resist taking her picture to share with you all.

ReplyDeleteI have recently become taken with religious art, the scars from Catholic school which made me shy from All Things Religious finally fading and allowing me to See the Art once again.
What a wonderful day you had!
Thanks for sharing this!

ReplyDeleteHi Candy... I am Marie's Mom (A colorful world Marie) She kept telling me to check out your blog. I hope to really peruse it from top to bottom in the coming days. It's a nice one. I know Marie enjoyed the Arts and Crafts Fair with all your girls.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful piece, Candy. So much emotion coming from it, I can tell why you took the photo.
ReplyDeleteReally neat statue, but you are teasing us with just this one photo : )
