Religious symbols

It is interesting seen a movie that has a lot of intellectual montage.  One of the images that call my attention is where the young girl gets merry and on the way to the house from the church you see a lot of little girls that are wearing this outfit that looks like the one the Virgin Mary had because it shows the little girls then it turns to focus on the picture of the Virgin.  This film has a lot of representation from the bible.  On the top of the church you see a young man carrying a stick on his shoulder to signify Jesus carrying the cross and as he stops and gets on his knees, this woman comes over and wipes his face with a cloth just like Mary did with Jesus.
