Image Title: Mother of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine

Description: This etched print features a mother of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine praying before the twelfth station of the cross. This lay religious order began as a system of Sunday schools providing popular doctrinal instruction under the aegis of Abbate Castellino da Castello in 1536 CE. Due to its rapid growth and gain in popularity, Pope Paul V established it as an archcofraternity in 1607.
