Description
The Virgin Mary with Child mural is one of the most famous street murals in Kyiv, Ukraine. It captures the image of the Virgin Mary holding a child in a red dress. In the background, you see an orange light, similar to the stained glass of a church. Above the figures, there is a white dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit in Christian iconography. Below the main figures, there are clusters of purple grapes, possibly symbolizing abundance or the Eucharist. The mural is painted in vibrant colors, with the woman's robe in shades of blue and the child's dress in red, standing out against the darker background. The mural was consecrated by priests in 2015.
I took this photo while on a visit to Kyiv, Ukraine, in August 2019. The city is full of street murals, many of which appear on residential buildings.
