Marian Mural. Photo: M. Imlay
Time now for the second installment in this blog’s occasional That’s Our Lady photo series, bringing you random depictions of Our Lady of the Angels from throughout the region.
Yes, I know that technically this colorful mural at 6th and Union Drive represents Our Lady of Guadalupe, but I don’t mind stretching the series definition to embrace theologically and culturally diverse renditions of L.A.’s patroness.
Still decked out for Christmas in late July, Our Lady offers prayerful solace to this bustling Central American neighborhood. An array of votive candles adorns her waist, clearly invoking her protection over residents. Meanwhile, St. Juan Diego kneels to her right, paying his respects.
