This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Madonna and Child designed from a painting by Marianne Stokes shows a gentle Virgin Mary draped in a white veil, holding the infant Jesus against a golden halo and intricate thorny backdrop. The thorns shown here are symbolic, as they foretell that Jesus will wear a crown of thorns as he carries the cross and dies for our sins. As you look at this portrait, you can almost smell the faint scent of sweet frankincense and fresh linen drifting on a quiet evening breeze. Our patterns use only full cross stitches. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
