Detail of mural by Vaclav Vaca at the Lady altar in St. Michael's Cathedral. Our Lady became (by supporting Jesus in her womb and later her arms and lap) a kind of throne for Wisdom Himself.
His Throne, thy bosom blest,
O Mother Undefiled –
That throne, if aught beneath the skies,
Beseems the Sinless Child.
