Art Returns to Medjugorje After Vandalism
Italian artist Andrea Brivio has completed his first large-scale mural at The Face of Mary, a house of prayer in Medjugorje. The artwork depicts the Virgin Mary and John at the foot of the cross.
Brivio arrived in the area around the same time several images of the Virgin Mary were vandalized with spray paint. He said the defacement of the statues was a shock that gave the project deeper meaning.
