Sancta Dei Genitrix
Holy Mother of God
(Birth-Giver of God)

Mother and child in the medallion reflect and complement the Nativity event below.  Both God the Father and Mary profer the same truth,

"Ego hodie genui te."
"Today I have given birth to you."

Peperit filium suum primogenitum (Luke 2:7). "And she gave birth to her firstborn Son."
