Platytera

Poetically, by containing the Creator of the Universe in her womb, Mary has become “More spacious than the heavens.”

This type is sometimes called the “Our Lady of the Sign,” a reference to Isaiah 7:14: “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel.”

Such an image is often placed in the apse above the altar.
