![]() ![]() Irenaeus of Lyons, Adversus haereses ( Against Heresies). ![]() The concept of Mary untying knots is derived from a work by St. ![]() ![]() This scene is often interpreted as Tobias and the Archangel Raphael traveling to ask Sara to be his wife. The serpent represents the devil, and her treatment of him fulfills the prophecy in Genesis 3:15: "I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel." īelow are shown a human figure being led by an angel. The painting, executed in the Baroque style by Johann Georg Melchior Schmidtner (1625-1707), shows the Blessed Virgin Mary standing on the crescent moon (the usual way of depicting Mary under her title of the Immaculate Conception), surrounded by angels and with the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove hovering above her circle of stars as she unties knots from a long ribbon and at the same time rests her foot on the head of a "knotted" snake. Devotion to the image had been limited to certain countries in Latin America (e.g., Argentina, Brazil) but became known worldwide following the election of Pope Francis. The painting by Johann Georg Melchior Schmidtner, of around 1700, is in the Catholic pilgrimage church of St. Peter am Perlach, otherwise known as the Perlach church, in Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany. However, if he were president during the outbreak, then not only does Pamela’s statement make more sense from a chronological standpoint, not only would it make sense that he would make efforts to ensure some part of Ohio (Specifically where his daughter and grandson lived) survived, but it’s likely that to do so, he would have had to allocate resources to Ohio that he could have otherwise placed in some other state, perhaps realizing once the situation became untenable, the only way to ensure any semblance of the country survived was to put the resources he had left into protecting what would become the Commonwealth.Mary, Untier of Knots or Mary, Undoer of Knots is the name of both a Marian devotion and a Baroque painting ( German: Wallfahrtsbild or Gnadenbild) which represents that devotion. Precisely what “sacrifices” could President Milton have made that would have contributed to the Commonwealth’s survival significantly enough to warrant mentioning? If he were president during the 80s, he obviously would have done some things for his home state, but would they have been enough to be a significant factor in the Commonwealth’s survival thirty years later? I doubt it. This leads me to the outbreak itself, specifically the “sacrifices” Pamela mentioned.

That last bit might be the most important here. Finally, from discussions Connie and Kelly were having with Carol and Daryl in last week’s episode, we know that Connie was responsible for getting Pamela’s uncle booted from Congress. We know from the current season of Fear The Walking Dead that the government had a plan to try to regroup and rebuild at PADRE. We know from Deanna’s presence as leader of Alexandria at least some government officials were successfully escorted out of the city. From Paula’s story back in season six, we know that high-ranking government officials were escorted out of Washington DC when the outbreak hit.
