The True Vine is in an alcove of the south wall, in the Town Choir area of the church. On entering pick up a free leaflet detailing the must see points. The Town Choir area is in south east corner of the church.
The statue depicts the young mother cradling the small baby. She is wearing a head scarf, the infant is unclothed. A scene well known in Christian countries, often portrayed at Christmas time in a Nativity play or tableau. A topic Josefina would return to many times.
Coordinates are for the main door. There is an excellent book shop and information run by volunteers in the church. Well worth a visit.
