This interdisciplinary study explores Marian imagery and representations in world literature and art throughout the centuries. This book demonstrates the widespread deep veneration of the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary in various countries and different Christian traditions. Devotion to the Holy Virgin has served as a bridge to different cultures, overcoming all types of possible borders. Religious and cultural literacy is crucial for domestic and international politics, the practice of peace, harmony, justice and prosperity. This book also gives recognition and pays homage to the influence of the image of Mater Dolorosa in shaping art and literature around the world.

Building on the work of Marian scholars like Pelikan, Tavard, and Warner, Shabliy presents experts who expand our knowledge of images of Mary in world literature and art to include Russia, China, Japan, and Central America. These essays bring to life world-wide images of the Virgin Mary as both dolorosa (sorrowful) and speciosa (beautiful) mother.
