Official name:"Our Lady of Carafa"

Description: I have seen this one in Malta. This image is to the right, a side altar in the St John temple, of the Knights of Malta. This church is decorated to the last inch with soft stone carvings, inlaid mozaiks, colorful, golden inlays . She is pushed to the side, but its here that there is any real life going on. Women are praying to her, lighting candles. Nowhere else have i seen veneration of any other saint,like the Madonna. Not even Jesus Christ. Its all her, the Madonna.

She is encased in her silver  gown, she wears a belt in the knot used by Innna, and Isis. This is the Ank shaped knot, stands for LIfe.This Goddess doesnt have a baby. She is looking at us, we are her children. her sopft face is kind, an everywoman face. her hands turned out in a getsure of blessing. Her cloak is decorated with all kinds of beautiful flowers and wines, trees of life. Her golden Crown is more splendid then of the kings. Two little unborn souls, angels hold up the crown of life. Triple golden ornaments testify about her triple Goddess origins.
