Saint Mary - Pittsburgh, PA - Statues of Religious Figures on Waymarking.com

This statue of Saint Mary is located at Saint Mary of the Mount Roman Catholic Church on Grandview Avenue at the top of Mount Washington in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The statue is directly in front of the church in a garden, and depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary with her hands folded in prayer. A plaque on the base of the statue says, "The St. Mary of the Mount Alumni Association would like to thank Sister Mary Bride O'Malley and all of the sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for everything that you have taught us."

The Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated by Christians as the Mother of the Word Incarnate, Our Lord Jesus Christ. As a young girl betrothed to Saint Joseph, Mary was visited by the angel Gabriel and told that she would conceive a son by the Holy Ghost, who would be the Son of God. In humble obedience to the divine messenger, Mary replied, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to thy word." In Bethlehem, her Son was born and was adored by shepherds and kings. As is known throughout the world, this Son, Jesus Christ, went on to suffer on the cross and rise again, offering salvation to the world through Him. Today, Mary is venerated as the Mother of God and Queen of Heaven.
