"Helmut & Johanna Kandl: Maria, breit den Mantel aus..."
interesting.
but I was a bit astonished at an overheard conversation about the orgin of "black madonnas", one person saying with complete assurance that the color black was a result of the candles burned next to the statues ...
I did some research on the net some time ago the cult of Mary and also the origin of the black Madonnas. I´ll just share some links with you.
