Looks like an interesting church. So much of 'church art' is of unknown origin. Except the really well-known pieces, of course.
Lovely photo!
A mislaid suitcase? Must check this. Nice shot!

the images of saints cause me very strong inner peace, the environment in which are situated always helps, but the way in which they are made up, the expression of the eyes is all too real.
very successful this picture, being in a dark place and brightness of the Virgin.
a greeting! .. lots of kisses and take care
