Variants of This Window

Mary is shown in a deeply contemplative pose, her hand raised in a gesture of quiet blessing as she cradles the youth across her lap. This portrayal evokes her title as Mater Afflictorum, or Mother of the Afflicted, expressing profound empathy for all who suffer. The figure she holds may symbolize the sorrows of humanity rather than the Christ Child directly, casting Mary as a spiritual refuge for the weary and brokenhearted. Surrounded by detailed tracery and bordered by delicate floral patterns, the design draws the viewer into an intimate space of comfort, mourning, and divine compassion.
