The Kitchen Madonna:
Patroness of The
Catholic View for Women
Mary was not only Jesus' Mother, but also a housewife.
Her utensils are earthly and heavenly symbols. The key
represents the safety in the house and also the way
into heaven. The kettle symbolizes nourishment for
body and soul. The broom represents cleanliness in the
home and in thoughts and deeds.
