    Virgin Mary - That Mary was the virgin mother of the divine Christ is made plain in the Bible and from the beginning Christians have believed she remained virgin throughout her life, as church fathers, and councils testify. In the Roman Catholic Churchit is an article of faith that God preserved Mary from the taint of 'original sin' from the first moment of her conception in her mother's womb (her 'Immaculate Conception'). Also that, without denying her natural death, at the end of her earthly lifeshe was taken body and soul into Heaven (her Assumption).

    Technique
    Enamelling is an old and widely-adopted technology. The ancient Egyptians applied enamels to pottery and stone objects. The ancient Greeks, Celts, Russians, and Chinese also used enameling processes on metal objects. Enamel is the colorful result offusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a smooth, durable vitreous coating on metal, glass or ceramic. According to some sources, the word enamel comes fromthe High German word smelzan (to smelt) via the Old French esmail. Used as a noun, "an enamel" is a usually small decorative object, coated with enamel coating, such as a champlevé or a cloisonné (different techniques).
