I'll name this Italianized, Byzantine Image: Mother of God of the Two Veils. Mary wears a white veil with a second of lapis-blue.
Lapis is a stone mined for centuries in Afghanistan. In the Middle Ages it was exported to Europe, ground into powder and used as a paint pigment. Valued more than gold, it was used into the Renaissance as the color reserved for painting the clothing of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It has numerous symbolic meanings inside and outside of religion.
Mary of the two veils,
white bridal Mary,
in your ascent,
God delights in wedding himself
to our planet,
daily dressed in
scarlet sins
of exploitation and death.
Mary of the lapis veil,
heaven's bowl
inverted
and the divine mothering
rains a new
spiritual process,
germinating
the noble truth
of our conception in
the heart of God.
Mary covered in lapis,
the dome of your mind
filled with star-thoughts,
dispelling
our mental malignancy
if we would ponder you.
Draw the evil out of
stubborn thinking,
Lapis Lady,
and by your bright
face
our frightening
ignorance to
dissipate,
evaporate.
Lady of the two veils,
in your bridal fullness,
Oh to realize our true nature,
beyond mud-men,
but to share the
white-hot,
Christ-truth
we've yet to perceive.
