Merry Snakesmas

This little event card
printed in Italy in 1971
is a funeral announcement.
It's such a nice little image of the Virgin Mary.

But why is she standing on a snake?


I've been thinking of Mary

lately

wondering why she didn't just say

No
Thank you.
I prefer to remain
immaculately
unconceived
.

yeah
wasn't she fearful of getting bitten on the toe

the fiat of mary
took care of a lot

blessed are the pure of heart

mary is lodged somewhere int he religious imagination
of every good catholic
the fact that we're all actually
bad catholics doesn't change anything

we are good bad catholics

praying to mary is better than
most all drugs
of course
a person would have to really check her out

she
