Blessed Virgin Mary - Brownsville, PA - Statues of Religious Figures on Waymarking.com

This statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary is located in a small stone grotto at the north end of Church Street in Brownsville, Pennsylvania. Next to the grotto is a sign from the old Saint Mary's Roman Catholic School. An engraved stone next to the statue says, "Donated by the Holy Name Society, May 1935." The statue depicts the Blessed Virgin with her hands folded in prayer and a rosary draped over her right arm.

The Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated by Christians as the Mother of the Word Incarnate, Our Lord Jesus Christ. As a young girl betrothed to St. Joseph, Mary was visited by the angel Gabriel and told that she would conceive a son by the Holy Ghost, who would be the Son of God. In humble obedience to the divine messenger, Mary replied, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to thy word." In Bethlehem, her Son was born and was adored by shepherds and kings. As is known throughout the world, this Son, Jesus Christ, went on to suffer on the cross and rise again, offering salvation to the world through Him. Today, Mary is venerated as the Mother of God and Queen of Heaven.
