Our Lady of the Rosaryby ~InnocenceBurning

Traditional Art / Printing

5 of 12 in the Apparitions of Mary series.
On May 13, 1917, a beautiful woman hovering above a luminous globe appeared to three children at the Cova da Iria in Fatima, Portugal, and asked that they return to the same place on the thirteenth day for the next five months, after which the figure would reveal her identity and make known her intentions. The children followed what the specter had said, and sure enough, on October 13, 1917, the figure did indeed make herself known.
In the months prior, news of the visitations had spread, and despite much skepticism, large crowds of people began to gather at the Cova each month on the thirteenth to see if what the children were saying was true. In that time, the figure told the three children, Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco, many disturbing messages of war and the future state of the world, as well as showing them glimpses of Hell; she also told them that soon enough, Francisco and Jacinta would be joining in her Heaven, while Lucia would stay on Earth to establish devotion to the Immaculate Heart.
On October 13, 1917, a crowd of 30,000 pilgrims gathered alongside the three children as they waited for the woman amidst torrential downpours. Suddenly, the woman appeared and announced herself as Our Lady of the Rosary. As she opened her palms, rays of light burst forth towards the sun, to which Lucia cried, “See the Sun!” As the crowd turned upward to look at the Sun, and to their surprise without any damage to their eyes, they saw it whirl about in the sky, pulse, and change colors. Then, suddenly, it violently plunged towards the Earth. The people grew fearful, but the Sun returned to its place in the sky, after which the people realized the ground around them, as well as themselves, was completely dry.
Later, just as Our Lady of The Rosary had said, Francisco and Jacinta both fell ill with the postwar influenza and died, while Lucia went on to join the Sisters of Saint Dorothy in 1926.

Religious subject matter aside, Our Lady of the Rosary by ~InnocenceBurning is the result of some lovely silk-screening work. ( Featured by `oedalis )

The color choices of this piece is amazing. The contrast between the red and the blue make it seem to really pop. I also really enjoy the subject matter in general.
