Mary: The Conception of Christ I thought I was doing something new, but when I researched it after the fact, I found out that the conception was a popular theme in Medieval art. They usually portrayed a vulture (symbol of the wind and of fertility) and showed the wind blowing up Mary's skirt. I portray the Holy Spirit as wind, which turns Mary's hair to spun gold as it blows over her. It seems there is nothing new under the sun...
