Embroidered epigonation with the Virgin Mary

Thus, virginity presents to us as its model the life of Mary, in which, like in a mirror, virginity contemplates its own beauty and exemplary virtues. Mary was a virgin not only in body but also in mind, embodying a sincere love where there is no place for hypocrisy or falsehood… Humble in heart, attentive, silent, devoted to reading the Holy Scriptures, she placed her hope not in transient riches, but in the prayers of the poor. She would go out only to visit the temple, and then always accompanied by her parents or familiar companions. – Saint Ambrose of Milan.
