## Sacred Marian Art for Christmas: A Rare Beauty
This year, we draw inspiration from this exquisite passage:
> «The image of Mary is impregnable, and even for those who do not believe, it holds the value of an intangible treasure of beauty, even when not understood as an image of faith, but rather as a sublime symbol interpreted according to universal human categories. It radiates the evidence of what was marked by the form of Revelation and fundamentally belongs to the Church, were it not for the fact that the Church is nothing other than the ‘spotless and wrinkle-free bride’ as she was only thought of in relation to Christ.»
> — Hans Urs von Balthasar, *Herrlichkeit. I. Schau der Gestalt* (1961)

To deepen your reflection on sacred art as an expression of faith, consult Pope Paul VI’s Apostolic Exhortation *Marialis Cultus*, which values artistic expressions as authentic vehicles for devotion to Mary.
