Ty! The intersecting “A” & “V” is also known as “Auspice Maria”, a monogram; & also Latin meaning “under the protection of Maria/Mary”. I enjoy finding varied drawings/depictions of the Auspice Maria in stained glass windows, on statues & other religious art. Sometimes I find one that is almost worn away, so maybe only the scroll around the letters is mostly visible part. But the overall symbol is recognizable to me now fairly easily after viewing so many different versions thru the years. Currently I’d say I’m enjoying quite scroll-ey, ornate versions, in which the letters & lines almost resemble vines. I guess kind of a calligraphy, perhaps? I luv when a crown tops the Auspice Maria. I also enjoy the Miraculous Medal M with intersecting cross symbol very much. Interestingly, Fleur de lis was appropriated by royalty & a symbol of many royal houses including the former royalty of France. I don’t know if it originally signified that royal house placed themselves under the protection of Our Lady, or if the royalty just wanted the symbol & took it.
❤ “Blessed is the fruit of thy womb,” my favorite 😍 🍐. You learn something new everyday! Thank you Jared 🤗
I'm not even remotely christian but this stuff is still very cool
Hi, thank you for these awesome videos. You remind me very much of another guy I listen to named Dr. Eric Berg.
