this is another robe and another crown.......
another dress and crown
She is very beautiful. The crowns and the clothing are made with devotion.
@Thank you Akkie and Toya. I went to see her several times in Einsiedeln (which is a place in the Swiss mountains actually, Canton Schwyz) and was really touched, although I am not catholic, I felt something magical about her.

@Hi Sarah, this is interesting! I looked at the link, and read, that the Gipsies meet at Saintes-Maries-de-la-mer in the Camarque (Southern France), and I remembered that I had been there some 30 years ago when my first daughter was very small, and the city was full of Romans (gipsies)). That must have been the day when they had a ceremony for the Saint Sarah. It is so long ago, I had all forgotten, but looking at the link, it came back in my head. What I did not know, was that there was a Saint named Sarah!
