The Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of Jesus, Queen of Heaven, first disciple of Jesus, she is the new Eve, and the Immaculate Conception. But Mary is also the pure handmaid of the Lord, not to forget the Mother of Sorrows, Mater dolorosa, the comforter of the afflicted and patron saint of the faithful.

Our Lady of Sorrows, Our Lady of Dolours, the Sorrowful Mother or Mother of Sorrows (Latin: Mater Dolorosa), and Our Lady of Piety, Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows or Our Lady of the Seven Dolours are names by which the Virgin Mary is referred to in relation to sorrows in her life. As Mater Dolorosa, it is also a key subject for Marian art in the Catholic Church.

In Southern Spain, churches and cathedrals are full of very life like religious statues, which are being carried trough the cities during the so-called 'semana santa', the wholy week of Easter. This Mother of Sorrows struck me as a particularly fine example of Andalusian religious art.

Mater Dolorosa, also the mother of a painter, is a term used to describe Mary's pain, Mary's vital care for her son, Jesus Christ. The special forms are the representation of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows and Our Lady of Solitude.... A real mother suffering a lot but smells of compassion and hope in God, not to die after so much delivery and so much love. Also, by the mysterious appeal that can be felt there, we could see in this Woman a variant of the Mater Dolorosa, the Virgin Mother who knows, by accepting the Grace that the Angel came to communicate to her, that this God-son whom she accepts and will become human flesh .
