I don't see the Black Madonna/Our Lady of Jasna Góra anywhere on the list, therefore she must be submitted, as our queen should!

We are going to have a separate poll for Marian apparitions/images. I couldn't put Mary against anyone else because tbh she's the best of the best. She beats everyone in the saint tournament!

We'll have another poll for her around the feast of the assumption!

Finally finished a recreation of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa! Very happy with how this came out, but wow did it take forever. It’s the first time I’ve created something so detailed.

I posted on my Insta if anyone would like to check more of my art! It’s private but I’ll follow back pretty much anyone https://www.instagram.com/angelite17?igsh=ZmZvaDNkN2FiYnpz&utm_source=qr

Our Lady of Grace Mediatrix of All Graces

In 1830, Our Lady appeared to Saint Catherine Laboure in a vision and told her that the rays of light streaming from her fingers symbolize the graces she obtains for those who ask for them, but many graces were available but did not come because no one had asked for them.
