what's the significance of the horizontal scar on her face, vandalism or original?

The original image had sword wounds and since then most images of her have honored those wounds.

It's a postcard which features sewing. I remember seeing these things years ago. I'm glad you like it.

Yes, she really does unite those two. She is known as Mother of Sorrows. However, she is also joyful.

Although I know all images of Our Lady reflect the same person, she became my spiritual mother primarily through this image. As far as I know I have no direct Polish ancestry. I will go now and look up images of the St. Louis shrine. Thanks for mentioning that. And, as usual, glad to see you.
