But I guess one will see what one wants to see.

So true. What do you see here?

Our Lady of All Nations, New Mexico

What I see is rendering of Our Lady of Guadalupe. She is standing IN FRONT of a cross, she is most certainly not on the cross.

And, as an aside, I find it odd that you attribute this to a location in New Mexico when the words abover her head are in German.

I see Mary standing in front of a cross that is mounted on the Earth.

I’m not seeing Mary “on” a cross. If you are seeing Mary “on” a cross, you would totally freak out at the pictures of my girls standing in front of the cross at my church.

There's lots of symbols in that one, but Mary is in front of the cross and not draped on it - so I interpret it best case scenario as Mary inviting the sheep of the world to the cross - or worse case scenario, a sheep would have to go through her to get to the cross.

I checked out one of the churches where Mary on the Cross is located...Some sort of Catholic Church of the Martyrs in Warsaw, Poland...

As you are sitting in the pew, you are looking at a large portrait of Jesus, sitting...He is looking up and directly above Him is standing the the Queen of Heaven, Mary...

I went to the site of the other Church where they have Mary hanging on the Cross at the Vatican...That Church claims to have relics of Mary and the actual blood of Jesus in their possession...
