Madonna of all nations with rays

Our Lady of All Nations with Rays

Our Lady of All Nations with Rays presents Mary as the mother of all humanity and as a symbol of peace, unity and reconciliation among nations.

This devotion is linked to the reported apparitions received by Ida Peerdeman in Amsterdam between 1945 and 1959. According to her testimony, the Virgin Mary appeared under the title "Lady of All Nations".

The messages associated with these apparitions encourage prayer, conversion and a commitment to peace. They emphasize Mary's universal mission as mother and spiritual guide for all peoples.

A distinctive feature of this sculpture is the presence of magnificent rays surrounding the Virgin. These rays symbolize divine light, heavenly grace and Mary's intercession for humanity.

The serene expression of the Madonna conveys hope, comfort and trust in God's providence, while the rays highlight her role as a bearer of peace and spiritual renewal.

The statue is crafted from maple or lime wood by artisans of the Val Gardena - Dolomites.
