Saturday Open Thread: The Annual Black Madonna & Child Series

December 19, 2015 by pragobots 152 Comments

GOOD MORNING PRAGOBOTS!

We conclude 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.
