Birhen sa Dalaga

(Queen of Virgins)
Mary is adorned like a virgin. She holds a lily in her hands. A wreath
of flowers crowns her head. Her hair is open and flowing freely to
her shoulders-a typical sign of the young and unwed woman in
Marian art.
A wreath of flowers and countless other virgins are surrounding
Mary's picture. The whole representation is dominated by the figure
of the victorious lamb (banner with cross) who overcame death by
giving his life. The Virgin Mary and all other virgins are following the
Lamb as Revelation reminds us,
"They are Virgins and these are the ones who follow the Lamb
wherever he goes" (Revelation 14:4)
