Our Lady of Justice, as depicted in Catholic tradition, incorporates symbols such as the scales of justice for fairness, the scepter symbolizing authority, sovereignty, and divine power, reflecting Mary’s role as Queen of Heaven and Earth. Additional elements like the mantle for protection, the star for guidance, and the open book for divine law emphasize her role as a compassionate intercessor who embodies both mercy and justice. A white dove symbolizes peace, purity, and the Holy Spirit, often associated with Mary’s role as the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. It represents her purity, her unique relationship with God, and her role in bringing the peace of Christ to the world.

I designed this bespoke icon image of Our Lady of Justice specifically for Ave Maria School of Law, integrating these symbols to reflect the school’s mission of upholding truth and justice through faith and reason.
