Our Lady or the Virgin Mary is a term which carries the belief in the virginity of Mary as well as her continuing role within the church and within the lives of Christians all over the world.

Mary was the first Christian saint and the mother of Jesus and was deemed to be a compassionate mediator between suffering and mankind, her son Jesus was seen as King and Judge.
Some earlier Our Lady statues show representations of Mary as the Throne of Heaven which show Mary and the child Jesus crowned as royalty and these statues are still available today in replicas for you to keep in your own home, you can also get Our Lady statues showing Mary and Jesus together as well as Mary on her own. The Madonna and Child is also a very popular representation of Our Lady as it shows Mary seated and suckling the child Jesus as he turns his head to look at the spectator.
