The Evergreen Tree
O', how the evergreen tree stands so tall,
It stands firm through even the harshest cold,
Unlike the proud oak, its leaves never fall,
It juts up defiantly, sharp and bold.
Old man winter comes and fills all with fear,
Skeletons remain of what were grand trees,
But if past the graveyard of plants you peer,
The pines still stand with their needle-like leaves.
I wish to be as the evergreen tree,
To be unwavering in my battle,
That the blizzards of life should not kill glee,
That my constitution be not rattled.
I gaze at the pine as I walk life's trail,
With the tree's resolve I shall never fail.

Mary in Hope, Lower Bavaria, around 1520/25, Bavarian National Museum, Munich
Maria gravida figures have (or have had) an opening in the abdomen, in which a small figurine of the unborn baby Jesus was visible or could be made visible by removing a lid. It was about a most impressive visualization of the mystery of the Immaculate Conception and the growing up of the divine Son in the womb, but this figure lacks such obviousness.
Fertility and the blessing of children – during the Middle Ages that was frequently the cherished hope of many people. Therefore they would venerate wooden figures of the pregnant Mary.
