The pure body of the Immaculate Virgin was not a prey for worms


Page from the book "Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God; with the History of the Devotion to Her. Completed by the Traditions of the East, the Writing of the Fathers, and the Private History of the Jews." The title actually keeps going, believe it or not. But I think that's quite enough. Published by D. & J. Sadler & Co., 31 Barclay St., New York, 1853. With gold leaf and orange dye.
