The icon of Our Lady of Częstochowa has been intimately associated with Poland for the past six hundred years. Its history prior to its arrival in Poland is shrouded in numerous legends which trace the icon\'s origin to St. Luke who painted it on a cedar table top from the house of the Holy Family.

One of the oldest documents from Jasna Góra states that the picture travelled from Jerusalem, via Constantinople and Belz, to finally reach Częstochowa in August 1382 by Władysław Opolczyk, Duke of Opole.

The Black Madonna of Częstochowa is a revered icon of the Virgin Mary housed at the Jasna Góra Monastery in Częstochowa, Poland.

The origins of the icon and the date of its composition are still hotly contested among scholars. The difficulty in dating the icon stems from the fact that the original image was painted over, after being badly damaged by Hussite raiders in 1430. Medieval restorers unfamiliar with the encaustic method found that the paints they applied to the damaged areas \"simply sloughed off the image\" according to the medieval chronicler Risinius, and their solution was to erase the original image and to repaint it on the original panel, which was believed to be holy because of its legendary origin as a table top from the home of the Holy Family.

(This painting of property \'in my family for many years, is truly miraculous, helped me overcome difficult moments of my life, right now I feel that others can admire it and I with its sale can realize the dream of building a house rest for poor people here in Bulgaria.
Bulgaria is not my homeland, I am Italian but this is a wonderful country and I hope I can do something good here for many older people who are in need and living with dignity \'despite poverty\').
When selling I pledge to complete my project.
