caption: The image shows a black and white photo of the Virgin Mary and Child, with a bird perched on her shoulder. She is wearing a white robe and has a halo of light around her head. Her hands are clasped in prayer and her eyes are closed in reverence. The bird is looking up at her with its wings spread wide, as if it is looking down at her. The background is a deep blue, with stars twinkling in the night sky.
