How was Mary portrayed? Do you think this is an accurate way of portraying her?

# data[].attributes.body
When Mary appeared she was portrayed as a beautiful vietnamese woman holding a child.Catholics believe that Mary is the Mother of us all and as the protecter. I believe that the way Mary is portrayed is very accurate because she loves her children and is there for them when they need her. She appeared while her children were being harshly murdered and protected those who had undying faith.

There was a group of people who saw Mary first. These people were Vietnamese Christians who escaped and hid in the forest because they were in danger. Mary appeared to them in the forest, told them how to make medicine and how to look after themselves. Mary also told them to keep praying and to have faith.

Many vietnamese christians were being persecuted. Many of them escaped in hid in the forest where they continued to pray to Mary for help and protection. When the persecution started in 1798, Our Lady LaVang appeared to the group of people in the forest. She protected them, taught them how to make medicine and how to look after themselves. Mary did this throughout all the years of the persecution period. A small chapel was built and many people constantly go there to receive blessings.
