Mater Dolorosa Bandana Scarf

My story: Sometimes described as ‘the flower of grief’, the marigold actually weeps on occasion. Droplets gather in the flower during the night and drip off like tears when it opens in the morning. This characteristic moved Shakespeare to write in A Winter’s Tale: “The Marigold that goes to bed with the sun, / And with him rises weeping.”

Grief mixed with joy, poverty linked with abundance of good gifts—that is the marigold’s reflection of the lady for whom she is named” - Brother John M. Samaha, S.M.

Although Marigolds are typically gold, Jamie has illustrated them here in Marian blue for Our Lady and also to symbolize the Mater Dolorosa, Mother of Sorrow.

This scarf is illustrated by Jamie in Virginia, and printed in the US. It is printed on demand and shipped direct from the printer. It may ship separate from other items you purchase in the shop. Because it is printed on demand, we are unable to make exchanges or returns. Please reach out if you have any questions.
