His first book, "Mary and the Fathers of the Church", is excellent as well. It presents a balanced account of Patristic mariology.

This Middle Ages thing reminded me of something in the storey Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Sir Gawain has a pentangle on his shield and also the insider has a picture of the Virgin Mary

The pentangle symbolizes the virtues to which Gawain aspires: to be faultless in his five senses; never to fail in his five fingers; to be faithful to the five wounds that Christ received on the cross; to be strengthened by the five joys that the Virgin Mary had in Jesus (the Annunciation, Nativity, Resurrection, Ascension, and Assumption); and to possess brotherly love, courtesy, piety, and chastity. The side of the shield facing Gawain contains an image of the Virgin Mary to make sure that Gawain never loses heart.
