Caritas Müller
Setting – Marjorie Yefchak

This set of one piece, part rough and part glazed, was made for The Marian Library Collection by Swiss artist, Sr. Caritas Müller. It is a divided set. The panel to the left shows Joseph standing with his hands on Mary's shoulder in a gesture of support and protection. The mother, sitting, holds the tiny body of the Child with her left hand, and with her right hand emphatically points to it. She is involved in conversation with the two figures in the right panel, in particular with the figure which is half sitting and half kneeling. He wants to know, and so does his companion towering over him: Who is this Child? Is he really the one announced by the angel? Both he and his companion are generous people. Their gifts are ready to be delivered. But first they have to know. Mary tries her best to explain. Will she succeed? In the end it will all be a matter of generous faith ... she knows so much.
