Description	View of a painting located inside St. Anthony Church depicting The Child Jesus, or Christ Child, and Mary. From around the third or fourth century onward, The Child Jesus has been very frequently depicted in art. The most famous depictions are of "Madonna and Child", which show him as a baby with his mother, Mary, as seen in this photograph. Below this painting is an offering of candles. In Christianity, candles were, and are, commonly used to burn before shrines towards which the faithful wish to show special devotion. Worshipers may light a candle in front of icons as an accompaniment to prayer. Candles are symbols that represent the light of God or, specifically, the light of Christ. St. Anthony Catholic Church was built in 1955 and is located at 1901 S. San Gabriel Blvd in the city of San Gabriel. Photo dated: December 23, 2006.
