Black Madonna Statue

of Montserrat: Spain\'s Black Virgin

Hand painted; each one is unique.

7 inches high
Handpainted Gypsumstone

She was discovered about 50 km North of Barcelona, inside a cave and up in a mountain called Montserrat and became the patron saint of Barcelona and particularly the people of Cataluna. Her festivity is celebrated every April 27th and she is said to have mystic healing powers, like most of the Black Virgins.

Montserrat means a shorn off mountain and looking at the sheer cliffs surrounding Montserrat, the name definitely applies here. Madonna is a beacon of hope and joy to millions of her worshippers among all faiths. A monastery built near the cave is a favorite place of pilgrimage.

There are many stories about this black madonna and the mountain, who many believe to be magic and some say she guards the holy grail. The statue is kept in a glass cabinet but her right hand is exposed so that a pilgrim can touch her golden orb and make a prayer or wish.

\"The Bride is black, swarthy from her labors in her brothers\' vineyards\"

-- Song of Solomon.

The Black Madonna images in European pilgrimage shrines are a matter of some controversy. Throughout Europe there are over 500 examples of these black images (most in France and Italy) and, while anathema to the orthodox church, they are widely venerated as having esoteric, magical and wonder-working powers.

THEBLACK VIRGINS

Whoever the enigmatic Black Virgin may be, she holds a powerful attraction for her millions of devotees around the world. Her sacred sites stand on highly charged earth energy centres, enhanced by megalithic ley-lines and sacred architecture.

From ancient times to the present, people have undertaken pilgrimages to her shrines as a way to explore her mysteries and to enable her to do her miraculous work of healing, transformation and inspiration.

France has more than 300 Black Virgin places of worship and over 150 Black Virgin statues still in out my other items!
