The knitting Madonna - here is Mary cradling the child Jesus while knitting a blanket. Knitting wasn’t around in Mary’s time but she almost certainly would have woven cloth. There is even a beautiful tradition suggesting that Mary made the seamless robe of Christ mentioned in the bible.
The art of needlework and similar is something we share with other women throughout history and there’s something profoundly feminine and motherly about it. Mary is pictured here as Mother of the Church. She’s the mother of Jesus but also a spiritual mother to all Christians.
Printed on thick smooth cardstock to accentuate the natural grain of the original artwork.
