Feast of the Immaculate Conception

 Now that I have been watching "The Chosen"  and especially the brief film "The Shepherd" , I think of Mary ---- "Mother Mary" as many have called her ----in her simple humanity, not her glorified apparition style.  

here she is with Jesus as an adult.

as a teenager, with Joseph, on the way to Bethlehem

Here are some "way out" imaginings of Mary that I have liked recently:
