Why do Catholics have a Mary Statue in Their Yards?
Mary sculptures are used as outdoor or yard decorations for many reasons. The hallmark of Catholic piety is the use of images to bring divinity closer to humans. Images are not ends in themselves, they are intermediaries. And, many ancient and venerable images of Marian are considered miracles. And sometimes, Mary’s sculptures are found outdoors in fields, trees, rivers, and caves. Also, Mary is a figure or symbol representing Catholic identity. Therefore, there are often Mary sculptures in the courtyard of the family.
During the Italian Renaissance, the custom of outdoor statues was a revival of ancient traditions. Among them, the statues of Our Lady of Lourdes and Fatima are the most numerous and most popular statues of Our Lady in the courtyard. Our Lady of Mary, then, is the chief witness of our faith in Jesus. So put her statue in our yard and we share the same belief. Mother Mary has been the protector of Catholicism since the early days.
What is the Purpose of Mary’s Garden?
The Garden of the Virgin Mary is a small sacred garden. In the garden, there is a statue or sanctuary of the Virgin Mother Mary. Mary is the mother of Jesus in the New Testament. Also, the practice originated in the monasteries of medieval Europe. In the Middle Ages, people saw the shadow of Mary in the surrounding flowers and plants. Among them, in the center of the garden, Mary holds the baby Jesus.
The garden is planted with flowers, shrubs, and trees associated with the legend of Mary. These plants may include laurels, strawberries, ladybugs, lilies of the valley, peonies, violets, irises, and roses, all of which are considered symbolic in the Bible. Gardens may have benches and facilities for lighting candles. People could pray and meditate next to the Virgin.
What Does the Mary Statue Symbolize?
The Mary statue is designed to deepen people’s connection with Jesus. It represents what Jesus has done for us through her. Jesus grew up in Mary’s love. Mother Mary was Joseph’s wife. According to the Gospels, she was the virgin mother of Jesus. Both Matthew and Luke in the New Testament, as well as the Qur’an, describe Mary as a virgin. According to Matthew and Luke, she was engaged to Joseph.
Also, Mary was a virgin when she was conceived by the Holy Spirit. And Mary accompanied Joseph to Bethlehem where Jesus was born. Her parents are called Anne and Joachim. According to Catholic teaching, at the end of her earthly life, Mary’s body ascended directly to heaven.
Mother Mary Statue Stepping on a Snake:
In Catholic churches, you would often see a statue of Mary stepping on a snake. This is a reference to Genesis where Mary would crush the head of a serpent (Satan).
