Hundreds of Black Madonnas are found all over Europe and
Latin America, as well as Egypt ,
Ethiopia and the Middle East . They attract huge numbers of pilgrims such
as the Black Madonna of Czestochovia and Monteserrat. Many are dated between
the 12th and 15th centuries but their origin is far
older. Often Christian cathedrals and churches were built over pagan worship
sites and it is believed that the Black Madonna is equated with Earth
Goddesses. One theory is that the Black Madonna and child is a Christian
version of Isis and Horus.
