Our Lady of Sorrows

Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows

Adriaen Isenbrant

1518-35

The sorrows:
* at the prophecy of Simeon;

* at the flight into Egypt;

* having lost the Holy Child at Jerusalem;

* meeting Jesus on his way to Calvary;

* standing at the foot of the Cross;

* Jesus being taken from the Cross;

* at the burial of Christ.

Standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing near, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

John 19:25-27
