Durante mayo celebramos el mes de María, 31 días dedicados a celebrar a Nuestra Madre. La Arquidiócesis de Glasgow, en Escocia, decidió publicar una imagen de la Santísima Virgen cada día.
Algunas son advocaciones, otras obras de arte tan famosas como bellas; y las hay también en pintura y escultura. Cada una está acompañada por una frase que nos cuenta algún dato curioso de la imagen. No te las pierdas, ¡son preciosas y honran a Nuestra Madre!
