The Black Madonna is both subversive and mysterious. But we can begin to piece together Her story as we trace Her roots back to Africa and the earliest humans. Venerated for centuries in both great cathedrals and humble villages around the globe, the Black Madonna has been a loved and trusted miracle worker and healer, especially when people are most desperately in need. In this free virtual gathering, Christena will share some of the most humorous, miraculous and memorable historical anecdotes of the Black Madonna as she illuminates the connection between our contemporary society and the Black Madonna and discusses why we desperately need the Black Madonna today.
