This sweater is meant to pay tribute to Jesus Christ, His Mother and His symbols. It’s like a scavenger hunt – see how much symbolism you can find! “My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior, for he has regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
