Oblates of the Virgin

At the Oblates of the Virgin Mary, a Catholic Church in Boston, the #altar is a radiant #vagina that holds the light of the world. Finally a symbol I can bow in reverence too, one that represents the mysterious unfathomable power of the human sacred vessel, turning cells into life incarnate, nurturing a conception into a breathing piece of consciousness. Not a symbol that represents surviving the worst behavior of humankind- false accusation and miscarried justice and torture and sorrow- but one that represents the infinite generative capacity in this life that wants itself. #mary #mothermary #divinefeminine #sacredfeminine #vulvaart #vagina #altarspace
