Scope and content
The sepia-coloured image is a reproduction of the famous icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary as the Theotokos in Byzantine art, meaning the Mother of God with the Child Jesus in Her arms, holding the Holy Bible which contains all the wisdom of the true God. Above their head on each corner there are the letters “MP" and "OY”, abbreviations of the Greek “Mater Theos” – the Mother of God. Also upon Her veil are three stars, which represent Her eternal virginity: before, during, and forever after Mary’s pregnancy she remained a Virgin. In the middle pages, one finds a prayer of Pope Pius XII and at the end their his facsimile of his signature. An indulgence was gained when this prayer was recited. At the back, one finds an official photo of Pope Pius XII, kneeling down in adoration. This image is a memento commemorating the day of reparation in union with the Pope against blesphemy.
