Black Madonna - The Lost Madonna of Clermont-Ferrand

Motherly love, mercy and boundless concern for her children are the hallmarks of this Madonna. She blesses the infertile with children and heals unhappy marriages. In the Middle Ages, she was highly celebrated with her own pilgrimage and festival in her town in central France.

This black Madonna was re-discovered during cathedral renovations in 1974. Sealed up in the walls, she stood hidden away and protected from some long forgotten danger. She is in symbol and in fact an example of reclaiming the Sacred Feminine.

Her jet black darkness was widely assumed to be due to her middle eastern blood. "The Bride is black, swarthy from her labors in her brothers' vineyards" -- Song of Solomon.

Hand painted 8 inch resin statue.
