Black Madonna of Częstochowa

She black

she's not black, most of the icon is made of cloth and metal, the canvas which the hands and faces are painted on are old as shit, and have survived both fire and getting stabbed by a pike.

Why are the angels still white?

I know that, I'm just curious in the legends surrounding her.

Are you kidding? There are even curly hairs on the baby's head.

This! Why would any of the other light colors survive so brilliantly? People believe what they want to believe.

Because the rest of what your're seeing is "false", you numbnuts.
Its an overlay of solid gold, gilded metal and wood, actual silk and other high quality materials. There is a dedicated enclosed order whose sole purpose (besides praying) is tending to the Madonna and change her outfits every day and for special occasions. Yes, there are more than one. Yes, every single one is worth more than you.

Pic related is the original composition, without the coating. Its old as fuck, and since it is a national and religious treasure, it cannot be treated.

10 minutes of googling or a little bit of culture would have saved you the time it took you to comment.

There were black people living in Eastern Europe until the Russians teamed up with the Mongols to invade.

She was closer to black than she was to Polish. That's for sure.

Since it took me ten seconds to type that, no it wouldn't have. Dumbass. Glad you spent 10+ minutes doing it for me though. Kek.
