Most Holy Name of Mary.
"The name of Mary brings grace, hope, and sweetness to the hearts of men. First fostered in Spain, then invoked against the Turks at Vienna in 1683, this devotion to Mary inspired King John Sobieski of Poland to put the infidels to flight, and thus to save Christendom from devastation. Pope Innocent XI extended observance of the feast (on 12 September) to the whole Church." This altar piece with the Holy Name of Mary carved in wood, is from the chapel of the Mercy Convent in Buffalo, NY.
