William Adolphe Bouguereau (French, 1825-1905) The Virgin of Consolation, 1875 Musée d'Orsay Mary - Our Mother Has Mary any relation to us? Yes, she surely has--is the answer of the Catholic Church. And it is the same today as it was in the fourth century: "Eve was called the mother of the living...after the fall this title was given to her. True it is...the whole race of man upon earth was born from Eve; but in reality it is from Mary that Life was truly born to the world. So that by giving birth to the Living One, Mary became the mother of all living" (Saint Epiphanius, Against Eighty Heresies, 78, 9). Christians have expressed Mary's relationship to us by addressing her with the title "Our Mother." This, of course, does not denote motherhood in the natural sense of the term, but a real spiritual relationship. Just as truly as Saint Paul, speaking to the Corinthians, could say: "In Christ Jesus, through the Gospel, I have begotten you" (1 Corinthians 4:15), Mary can say to all: "In Christ Jesus, through my consent to your redemption, I have begotten you." She was associated in our regeneration by giving us its Author. When Jesus Christ on Calvary addressed to Mary the words: "Woman, behold thy son," and to Saint John, "Behold thy mother," he proclaimed this truth. Christians always have considered Saint John as personifying all the redeemed who would look upon Mary as their "mother." This is the origin of devotion to Mary.

Today The Virgin Mary closes its doors after 17 years.
Previously known as CULT PARTY for its first 4 years of business and the birth place of cult party kei, The Virgin Mary was a highly influential and renowned vintage shop that inspired several fashion brands/designers. The shop and cult party kei’s impact could be seen across Japanese street fashion between the late 2000s through early/mid 2010s. Grimoire (the birth of the dolly kei)— another famous vintage shop from the same era— came to be as a result of The Virgin Mary’s influence.
There is no denying The Virgin Mary’s success and place in Japanese street fashion history, it’s especially heartbreaking to see the store close as it is one of the last major vintage shops left from this era of fashion. Grimoire had already closed their doors after a 15 year run.
While cult party kei has dwindled in popularity since the late 2010s, as of the early 2020s there is still a small dedicated community online who wear and keep the fashion alive today.
Thank you Ari and the wonderful staff at The Virgin Mary for 17 years!
