The Gracious Virgin Mary is a depiction of the Blessed Virgin Mary according to the description of a sister of the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul in 1830. The Virgin Mary appeared in a white dress; she was standing barefoot on the globe with her arms down and rays of light emanating from her hands. The nun heard the voice explaining that the rays were allegedly a symbol of graces that Mary provides to those who ask for them.

Mary is shown standing, dressed in white robe with a cord round the waist, a blue robe is draped over her shoulders; a halo is around her head and she is stepping on the serpent, a symbol of the evil spirit.
