This is the earliest known Virgin and Child – in the Catacomb of Priscilla. "The prophet on the left points to the star above Mary, who looks down at her son who turns from his mother to look us straight in the eye."

[Dr. Eckleburg]

They who bow down to idols become like them.

That picture is about Jesus not Mary

Whether one likes it or not all the icons or statues are idols. No one knows what Mary actually looked like or Jesus actually looked like so they are pictures that come from the imagination of men.. they are not like carrying a picture of a loved one..they are false Gods.
