Madonna’s baby hangs in her arms like the dead Christ does in Michelangelo’s Pieta, completely helpless.  Mary knew the scriptures and knew her son would save the world but would be despised by many men and broken.

Perhaps the  madonna wears sunglasses to hide from most of her generation her elation and at the same time saddness over her son’s future. Or, we could say she wears sunglasses because she’s a celebrity. Perhaps she represents us receiving gifts from God, our children. Do we view our parenting as important as she did?
