Sepia Saturday # 44

Sepia Saturday with Alan

Last week I submitted a new found picture of my mother.
Here is another photo in that group of her.


I am not sure when this was taken. I was born in Nov of 1937 and since it looks like May with the May altar, I can guess 1938. I do know it is of my mom holding me.
The May altar was a tradition of Catholic families to set up a table with a statue of Mary and keep flowers on it during the month of May.
I guess there was a May celebration going on and the May altar had been moved outside.
I still to this day have  May altar.
My statue of Mary with fresh flowers on it each day is just a part of my life.
Mary is my model of wife and mother.
