18K HOLY VIRGIN MARY AND BLUE ENAMEL PENDANT.

REMARKS : That Mary was the virgin mother of the divine Christ is made plain in the Bible and from the beginning Christians have believed she remained virgin throughout her life, as church fathers, and councils testify. In the Roman Catholic Church it is an article of faith that God preserved Mary from the taint of 'original sin' from the first moment of her conception in her mother's womb (her 'Immaculate Conception'). Also that, without denying her natural death, at the end of her earthly life she was taken body and soul into Heaven (her Assumption).
