ICON Statement:

Mary isn't just an icon; she is perhaps the greatest superstar in art
through the centuries, and her image has its roots in the goddess Isis
from ancient Egypt. The "Maria Lactans" motif, in which Mary
breast-feeds baby Jesus, was very popular in the late Middle Ages and
is remarkably similar to the imagery if Isis breast-feeding baby Horus
(c.2700BCE-400AD). In both stories, the son is killed and ultimately
resurrected.

As for "Does this halo make my face look fat?"-- well, as not only the
Divine Mother but as the superstar/supermodel of the art world
throughout the centuries-- she has to think about these things!
