Night at the Museum

I really liked this painting because it reminded me of my mother and her relationship with catholicism. My mom is Nicaraguan and Catholicism is the main religion in the country. They have religious celebrations that are solely focused on Mother Mary like “La Gritería” which was my favorite holiday to celebrate any winter and summer I had spent in Nicaragua. Mary is meant to symbolize purity and religious commitment to the holy trinity. I myself am not religious but I do enjoy the holiday. There are many altars and paintings on the day of the celebration which this painting reminded me of.
