Pilgrimage to the Black Madonna of Czetochowa ( YouTube version) Anne Maria Clarke

Black Virgins, found mostly in France, Spain, Switzerland and Poland are widely believed to be ‘a survival and a continuation under a new name and a new religion, of the goddesses of the classical world.’ Goddesses like the Shulamite whose poignant voice opens the sublime Song of Songs in the Old Testament.

 ‘I am black and I am beautiful, O ye daughters of Jerusalem.’

This is a personal the story of a pilgrimage taken to Poland's own highly revered Black Madonna of Czetochowa.
