Thursday Open Thread: The Annual Black Madonna & Child Series

December 15, 2016 by pragobots 260 Comments

GOOD MORNING PRAGOBOTS!

We continue our series on The Black Madonna and Child 

 

“THE MIRACULOUS BLACK MADONNA”
Beilstein, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

From Wikipedia:

..The village is a pilgrimage site, for it is here that the “Miraculous Black Madonna” is displayed in the Baroque Saint Joseph’s Monastery Church. This is a statue of Spanish origin from the 12th or 13th century, left behind by the Spaniards after their short time as Beilstein’s lords after the Thirty Years’ War and shortly thereafter taken to France, only to be brought back to Beilstein in 1950.
