Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I had a dilemma regarding this coloring page which you can read all about here if you want to. The short of it is that this was the picture I liked best because of the story I created in my head around it. In my head, I imagined a little story about a pageant play that paid homage to the famous line... For this was on Seynt Valentynes day, Whan every foul cometh theere to chese his mate... and the young man chosen to play the part of this Saint of Happy Marriages, stepping out to catch his breath under the weight of his burdensome costume, his mitre heavy and a little cocked on his brow, stumbling upon this scene in the garden.

So, I am not sure if it will mean the same thing to anyone else or if people are going to scratch their heads wondering why St. Valentine looks 12 years old.

He is... but there is a reason. Just ask my head.

As the artist giving your work freely to your admiring public, you have the right to take liberties.

I'm just so happy to be able to offer my girls a saintly picture versus a mere coloring sheet on St. Valentine's Day. And the dear birds are the "perfect" touch.

Thank you, Charlotte!
