Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

The whole photo is just breath taking.  I so love the display of both their hands.

Thank you for sharing with us this morning.

I would have to agree with you. Somehow the religious aspect of the holiday seems to be getting more and more overshadowed.

 

I will say, for me personally, I'd like to buy a religious stamp, but the ones I see offered, like the one above, are not all that pretty to me. 

 

I'm sure this is a fine work of art in and of itself, but I just don't care for it. I respect it, but don't find it beautiful aesthetically. Mother and Child is always 'beautiful' in the religious sense to me, but this style of depiction just isn't, to me, and perhaps many others as well. 

 

Many of the religious stamps I have seen are in this same style. Perhaps if they came out with more variety in style, they would be more popular.

Very beautiful work of art.

The other religious stamp is lovely but this one is beautiful.

 

I use only religious stamps on our Christmas cards. As they say, "It is the reason for the season."
