Washington D.C. dedicated to the Virgin Mary

Minerva, goddess of wisdom and the arts of civilization, with helmet and spear, points to an electric generator creating power stored in batteries, next to a printing press, while inventors Benjamin Franklin, Samuel F. B. Morse, and Robert Fulton watch. At the left, a teacher demonstrates the use of dividers.
A rainbow sweeps across the lower quadrant of the Dome of the Sky from Benjamin Franklin to a young boy wearing a Smurf-cap and a toga. The boy attends a goddess who reclines on a large horse-drawn reaper. She is Persephone’s mother Ceres, who was reconsecrated by early missionary adaptation as Anna, mother of the Virgin Mary. The golden boy is officially designated “Young America.” Although Brumidi has hidden the boy’s face from us, he deserves our careful scrutiny for one very important reason. Bearing the name “America,” he is the only element in the sacred national iconography that defines the character of the American person as perceived by government. [Perhaps this represents Ben Franklin communicating to Ceres/Anna via "Young America" who represents the concept of freedom of speech via various forms of media whether Franklin's printing press, or today's blogs?]
And here, the Goddess Immaculately Conceived, the Dreadnaught Mary. [Otherwise- the MOTHER OF WAR - MOTHER-WARRIOR]. Wearing the pentagrams and
eagle headdress of Thomas Crawford’s statue atop the dome’s exterior, she
mobilizes her sword and shield against a pack of fleeing sinners labeled
“Tyranny” and “Kingly Power.” Jupiter’s mascot, the Roman eagle, glides just behind her clutching a
bunch of thunderbolts in his talons. Innocent in her flowing scarlet cape, the
Goddess is situated exactly beneath the deified George Washington, coming
between him and the embattled viewing public gazing up from ground level. It is
the graphic realization of Pio Nono’s Ubi primum, which decreed the Virgin Mary was “set up between Christ and his
Church, always delivering the Christian people from their greatest calamities
and from the snares and assaults of all their enemies.”
