20110418 Mary

A statue of St. Mary sits in the wall of the Jesuit Church (Saints Peter and Paul Garrison Church / Church of the Most Holy Apostles Peter and Paul) in historic L'viv, Western Ukraine.

Consecrated in 1630, the church was closed in 1946 by the Soviet government, where it served first as a warehouse, and later as a book repository for theLviv Vasyl Stefanyk Scientific Library of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. It would be reopened as a place of worship in December of 2011. Notably, behind Mary's head lies a halo of 12 stars, reminiscent of the EU flag.

Taken with my Nikon D40, fitted with a Tamron 70-300mm F4/5.6 DI LD (Nikon AFS) lens and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
