Peonies for Our Lady

Peonies from the Abbey gardens adorn our Crivelli Madonna at the entrance to church at the the east cloister. 

Our Lady is our mother in whom we are all enclosed, and we are born from her in Christ; for she who is mother of our Savior is mother of all who will be saved in our Savior.
