Instead of always adoring the Christ child, it is nice to see him held!
There are various religious paintings and works of art in the Santos: Substance & SoulPhoto Gallery of the Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute.
There are lovely pieces to look at. Partly because there is a small exhibit of parisioners' images of the Virgin of Guadalupe at my church, I was especially attracted to this Virgin of Guadalupe from the above site.
