La Vierge Noire de Rocamadour.

La Vierge Noire de Rocamadour dont l’origine remonte au XIIème siècle, sculptée en bois de noyer, est noire par sa couleur originelle et non par la suie ou la fumée. Cette couleur est souvent interprétée comme un symbole de la douleur et de la compassion de Marie pour les pécheurs. Elle est vénérée pour ses pouvoirs miraculeux, et de nombreuses histoires de guérisons et de grâces attribuées à son intercession ont été rapportées au fil des ans.

The Black Virgin of Rocamadour whose origin dates back to the 12th century, carved in walnut wood, is black by its original color and not by soot or smoke. This color is often interpreted as a symbol of Mary’s pain and compassion for sinners. She is revered for her miraculous powers, and many stories of healing and graces attributed to her intercession have been reported over the years.

So much better viewed in original size.

Very well lighted shot for an interior scene. Love the colours and the details. And the red wall isan excellent backdrop, wonder if the painter of King Charles’ portrait took inspiration from this …;-) V
