Black Madonna Catholic Scarf | Mary Scarf with Miraculous Medal

The Blessed Mother Mary is depicted as a Black Madonna In over 100 ancient devotional images of the Mother of God. Mary gained popularity as depicted with dark skin in the 12th-14th centuries as Mary devotion was growing in general.

Some of the most popular and well known Black Madonna's are Our Lady of Czestochowa, and Black Madonna's in Spain and Switzerland. There are popular devotions to dark-skinned Mary throughout Africa and of course Our Lady of Guadalupe had darker skin appealing to the native countrymen of Mexico.

Our own exclusive fabric gives honor to Mary with the Christ child as she may appear in many European depictions, but our bright florals and leaves give honor to Mary as a Black Madonna in African nations.

The colors on this scarf are beautiful and match so many colors of coats, sweaters, dresses and jackets.

Attached to each scarf is a mini Miraculous Medal. The medal design was made in 1832 with the approval of the Catholic Church after Mary had appeared to St. Catherine Laboure. The medal was quickly distributed throughout France. and blessings that Mary had promised flowed to all who wore the medal. It became referred to as "The Miraculous Medal" and is still one of the strongest devotions throughout the world in the Catholic Church, just behind the rosary.
