Our Lady's Wardrobe

Over the centuries, Our Lady has appeared at many different times and in many different places, but few realize that she almost always appears in quite diverse and dazzling styles of dress. In these stunningly beautiful pages, best-selling children's author Anthony DeStefano considers Mary's distinctive raiment in the various apparitions and elucidates the message she bears in each. By means of these wise pages and their delightful images, children come to understand the main lesson of Mary's whole life -- the need to do whatever her son Jesus tells us to do. First, children meet Our Lady in Nazareth, poor and therefore not robed in splendor. Next, they encounter her in Heaven, dwelling in an enormous mansion (as is promised by Jesus to all who live there) with an exquisitely beautiful wardrobe. DeStefano engages young readers in consideration of fifteen exterior garments of Our Lady, thereby leading young souls directly into the interior messages of her Immaculate Heart. Here children will explore the wardrobe and messages of: --The Blessed Virgin Mary in Nazareth --Our Lady of Mount Carmel --Our Lady of Perpetual Help --Our Lady of Czestochowa --Our Lady of Grace --Our Lady of Lourdes --Our Lady of Fatima --Any many more!
