Please share what you know about the black madonna. I read where
St. Luke was creating a painting of the madonna and Mary began speaking to him about the life of her son.

Czestochowa, Poland " The Black Madonna "

 

[Sphinx777]

The Black Madonna of Częstochowa (Czarna Madonna or Matka Boska Częstochowska in Polish, Imago thaumaturga Beatae Virginis Mariae Immaculatae Conceptae, in Claro Monte in Latin, Ченстоховская икона Божией Матери in Church Slavonic) is a holy icon of the Virgin Mary, that is both Poland's holiest relic and one of the country's national symbols.

My avatar is a picture of it from when I went to visit Czestochowa. She is credited for saving Poland from a Swedish invasion where she was crowned Queen of Poland by the king.
