Black History Month fact #21
The Catholic Virgin Mary was depicted as a black woman during the Medieval times of Europe.
Many Virgin Mary’s were painted Black to match the skin color of the indigenous population. Some of the most famous Black Virgin shrines are Our Lady of Altötting [Bavaria, Germany]; Our Lady of the Hermits [Einsiedeln, Switzerland]; Our Lady of Guadalupe [Mexico City]; Our Lady of Jasna Gora [Czestochowa, Poland]; Our Lady of Montserrat [Spain]; and Our Lady of Tindari [Sicily].
Some writers believe they represent a Christian form of Isis, as a mother with child. This concept of a mythological reflection of Isis is implicitly highlighted by Stephen Benko:
“the Black Madonna is the ancient earth-goddess converted to Christianity.”
In Kemetic spirituality, Auset (aka Isis) represents the goddess of the universe and of earth; she is mother earth. the Black Madonnas are most likely a Christian representation of Auset.
