This statue of Our Lady is in all the parishes of the Battambang diocese in Cambodia, where many people have been killed or maimed by land mines. The statue shows disabled children nestling into Our Lady's skirts with toys, while a smiling Jesus looks out with arms wide. An identical statue was sent by the people of Battambang to the English shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, which is where I found it and fell in love with it.

My current favorite is Francisco Laporta Valor's "Rosa Mistica."  I'm going through a Scary Mary phase. :)

I loooove it...I can't stop laughing, though. It looks like "EndGame Mary."

NOOO I can't find pictures, but my favorite statues of Mary are in two of the churches in my parish. There's one that has Mary and many children from all over the world sitting at her feet, and in the other church, there is a simple statue of Mary wearing a white dress with a blue veil (it has gold trim) and she is looking downwards and holding her hands together in prayer.
