Immaculate Heart of Mary - Symbolism, Meaning & Religious Art #152912 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white linocut-style illustration portrays the Virgin Mary with her Immaculate Heart exposed-surrounded by thorns, pierced by a sword, and crowned with flames-symbolizing her sorrows, love, and devotion. She holds a white lily in her left hand, representing purity, while her right hand gestures toward her heart, inviting contemplation and consecration. The halo adorned with fleurs-de-lis reinforces her queenship and sinless nature.
