In creating this yardage of St. Mother Josephine Bakhita, I focused on several iconic images of her for both inspiration and historical accuracy. Her face, long and narrow, is captured with a hint of the calm smile she carried with her. On her head is her iconic wrap, immediately identifying this amazing woman. In great detail hangs, around her neck, a gold necklace of Our Lady of Sorrows (the doll you purchase has OLS perfectly drawn in detail). This same necklace medallion appears throughout the yardage, and serves a dual purpose. At first glance, it looks as if she is surrounded by gold coins...the same coins that were used to buy and sell her into slavery. Yet, upon closer inspection, you'll see the gold medallions are not coins but the image of Our Lady of Sorrows, the same representation that St. Josephine Bakhita wore around her neck as a symbol of her faith. That she chose Our Lady of Sorrows is not lost on me...what a meaningful depiction of Our Mother to honor! ----------- Love this fabric? Great!
