Special guest Marek Czarnecki will discuss Our Lady of Czestochowa, one of the best known but most enigmatic icons in the world. Why is she so dark? Why is her face scarred? She belongs to no known historical style of eastern iconography nor western art.
The back of the icon is painted with its legendary history - how it was created, arrived in Poland, its desecration and miracles. These stories speak about the icon’s meaning and the people who valued it. But if the icon could speak for itself, what story would her dark scarred face tell?
Polish historical archives mention the icon and report the facts of its desecration. Using the scientific findings of its current conservator, we can finally peer beneath the icon’s surface to discover its many layers of destruction and reconstruction. Like Poland itself, the icon's first great miracle is its own survival.
