The Virgin Mary, as the personification of humility, obedience and devotion, is seen by artists and ordinary believers as the closest mediator to God. Strong Marian veneration is manifested in the Catholic and Orthodox Church as the so-called Marian cult. Mary is holding Santa Claus sitting on a pillow and in front of her is a reading desk with a book.
