September and The Madonna

Birth of the Virgin, Russian Orthodox Icon

September 2022 has been labeled as The Month of Our Lady of Sorrows. It seems a proper memorial for a very difficult time. The Virgin has so many correlations, but the most significant one is that she experienced quite a bit of sorrow, and is a model of what we can endure.


September 8 is considered the Nativity of Mary, and is also the festival of the Grape Harvest in many traditions. September 14, is the holy day commemoration the discovery of the True Cross by St Helen of the Cross, as we might guess her name would be. 


In this months Podcasts on The Black Madonna Speaks, we will explore several Madonnas and interview Graphic Novelist Carlos Nieto, as he discovers his heritage through art and historic exploration.


Yes, the Madonna is sorrowful, but she is also healing and peaceful, and brings much to us in terms of her many many stories.
