This statue is on the front lawn of the St-Claude church located at 80 Meunier O. in Laval-des-Rapides.

Mary, daughter of Jewish Judea, is the mother of Jesus of Nazareth. The Catholic and Orthodox Churches agree an essential role to Mary, they call Mary of Nazareth, Holy Virgin, Our Lady (more often among Catholics), or Mother of God (as in orthodox among Catholics). It is often represented on the lawn of a church or gives its name to the chapel attached to it. This woman is the Virgin Mary, who gave birth to Jesus Christ, by His sacrifice, defeated once and for all the ancient tempter. Here it is represented holding a cross with the name Jesus Christ written on it. On the base, the inscription reads 1960 N.D.dePontmain.

Cette statue est placée sur le terrain de l'église St-Claude située au 80 Meunier O. à Laval-des-Rapides.

Marie, fille juive de Judée, est la mère de Jésus de Nazareth. Les Églises catholique et orthodoxe accordent une place essentielle à Marie, qu'elles appellent Marie de Nazareth, Sainte Vierge, Notre Dame (plus souvent chez les catholiques) ou Mère de Dieu (chez les orthodoxes comme chez les catholiques). Elle est souvent représentée sur le parterre d'une église ou donne son nom à la chapelle qui s'y rattache. Cette femme est la Vierge Marie, qui a donné naissance à Jésus Christ qui, par son sacrifice, a vaincu une fois pour toute l'ancien tentateur. Ici, elle est représentée en train de tenir une croix sur laquelle est inscrit Jésus-Christ. Sur la base il y a l'inscription 1960 N.D.dePontmain.
