A Tiny Statue, Chapter 1

 


When I was a child, I was given a tiny statue. It was from my Great Grandparents, and it came from Belgium. If I was told more about it, I do not remember. I put it in a desk drawer. For over 50 years it would remain in that desk. Once or twice a year I would find it when I was looking for something else. 

The statue was a mystery. Did this particular image of Mary have a title? A story? A history? A particular devotion? I was unable to find any information. Until 2022. 

(By the way, in 2022 I learned that my tiny statue is a "pocket shrine". Just Google "pocket shrine" to learn more.)
