ugh... it's not 'the piety'... a closer translation is 'Piteous.' Just so you know, it's a depiction of the sorrow of our Blessed Mother Mary at the death of her son, Jesus, our Lord. When they took Him off the cross, they laid Him at her feet, and thus the traditional depiction of La Pieta, has been made famous over the centuries. It's not a depiction of piety, but of sorrow.

Just thought you should know.

i apologize if i seem rude, but it bugged me.
