Adorable kids. (Yeah, I know it’s AC.)

But how could any kid sleep at night after seeing that creepy artwork? That would give me screaming nightmares.

People confuse that for the Black Madonna.

It’s actually Tanit.

Tanit worship included child sacrifice.

It is a long established custom to hide in plain sight by placing a thin veneer of Christian seeming gloss over pagan idols.

It appears to be a (rather weird) depiction of Our Lady of Solitude in a traditional form of Latin American folk art--the retablo.

Nuestra Señora de la Soledad is one of the titles or advocations of the Blessed Virgin Mary, mother of Christ. The word soledad or solitude refers to Mary in the act of contemplating the death of her son, Jesus. It is both a physical and psychological solitude for only a mother can know the pain of the death of her child. In this way she is truly isolated from those around her. Under this title Mary is a model for those who would withdraw from the world to pursue a life of spiritual contemplation.

Considering what would happen to Gloria's eldest son that's a curious choice of art work.
