Our Lady of Silence
Pope Francis keeps a copy of a modern icon-like painting of Mary near the elevators in the Vatican's Apostolic Palace. It is an image of Our Lady of Silence. In it, Mary holds her right index finger poised in front of her closed lips.
The icon was commissioned by Capuchin Fr. Emiliano Antenucci in 2010, and completed by the Benedictine nuns of San Giulio d'Orta in the Italian province of Novara.
While Our Lady of Silence is new, other images representing "holy silence" date back to 14th-century Eastern Europe and, a bit later, in Russia. And they do so with images of angels and Christ.
