Alabaster sculpture of Our Lady of Latopa

"The Virgin Mary" is one of the most respected saints in Christianity (especially Catholic and Orthodox). It is regarded as the mother of Jesus Christ and symbolizes "purity", "love" and "salvation". Sculptures on the theme of the Virgin Mary are very common in Western religious art, and common forms include "Virgin and Child" (Virgin and Child), "Standing Virgin" (Madonna Enthroned) or "Mourning Virgin" (Pietà). Such works are not only the material carrier of faith, but also the interpretation of divine love through artistic language.

Michelangelo Buenarotti's sculpture Pieta is one of the world's most famous works of art, depicting faith and grief-the wounded body of Jesus Christ being held in the loving arms of the Virgin Mary. It is a shocking reminder that both the Virgin and the Holy Son have voluntarily made great sacrifices for the salvation of mankind. The sculpture is located inside the "Kamay ni Hesus" (Hand of Jesus) church in Lucban, Quezon (Philippines). It is a replica of the original artwork, made of Carrara marble, located inside St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.
