The Virgin Mary at Lange Koepoortstraat 18

            April 21, 2022 - The Virgin Mary is Antwerp's patron saint and you see Virgin Mary statues on nearly every corner building.  The statues are nearly always found located over a street light (votive) which is of importance in the days when the Antwerp districts had to pay high taxes for street lights.  If the district could argue that a votive beneath a statue was not used to illuminate the street but to illuminate the statue the tax was waved.  I gained this bit of knowledge on a walking tour of the city which occurred on April 23rd.
