The Black Madonna
The featured photo I see here is of the Black Madonna. This is a very important icon, mostly to Polish catholics. It’s displayed inside, at the end of a small street in the old historic part of Vilnius. On certain occasions (in June, when we were there), there were several days of religious observances centred around the icon, with services in the street itself. Apparently lots of people do a pilgrimage here to see her.
