Mother dear, remember me, And never cease Thy care. V5Ee.i,,, K . The frontispiece of this year's Halloween is a black-and-white reproduction 0 what is perhaps the most famous picture of theChurch-that of Our Mother of erpetual He p. This beautiful and famousiimage should be of special interest to every Catholic, but particularly to graduates of All Hallows, since it is a depiction of the Patroness of the Christian Brothers of Ireland. The original represents Our Blessed Lady on a bright golden background, bearing the Divine Infant on Her left arm. Her features are sadly thoughtful, as if the loving Mother were already contemplating the sufferings of Her dear child in the closing days of His life on earth. i ' s She wears a bright red garment, over which is a long full cloak, interwoven with gold, while covering the head and falling over the right shoulder is a mantle similar in color. A close-Etting cap of a bright green color and with a Greek border half covers the forehead. The Divine Infant, with averted face, shows a surprised and startled expression, presumably at the sight of the instruments ofthe Passion, borne by the angels. His garments, like those of the Blessed Virgin, are brightened by many gracefully drawn lines in gold. The angelic figures are those of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, they seem to issue from the golden background, which the artist probably meant to signify Paradise. The Greek letters present in the background are the contractions for the words The Mother of God, The Archangel Michael, 'The Archangel Gabriel, and Jesus Christ. It is considered that the letters and signs are not part of the artists work, but were made to explain the picture by someone else. The picture is supposed to have been painted in the thirteenth century, by an artist living in the island of Crete, and whose name has not been preserved. After the colors had dried well on the picture, the artist, as was thelcustom, overlayed the work with a specially-prepared varnish which gave the painting a resisting power against the ravages of time to which we are indebted for the purity of the colors and the brightness of the gold after a lapse of centuries. 12 Till in heaven eternally Thy love and bliss I share
