Since the old blog theme has been updated by its maker, adding links of a particularly hideous color, I have switched to another theme altogether.
I apologize for the inconvenience, but it was making my eyes hurt.
Also, I hope you like the new header. In case you’re wondering, the pictures come from Bellegambe’s Immaculate Conception (the woman is St. Anne; Mary is the little glowing fetal baby), a Fra Angelico Annunciation (I love it that Mary’s saving her place with her finger!), Carpaccio’s drawing of Mary reading to Christ, and then a little illumination from the Hague, of Mary weaving while little Jesus reads to her! What artists do with this Marian reading theme is just endlessly interesting.
