1. Black MadonnaA Black Madonna or Black Virgin is a statue or painting of Mary in which she is depicted with dark skin, especially those created in Europe in the medieval period or earlier. In this specialized sense "Black Madonna" does not apply to images of the Virgin Mary portrayed as explicitly ethnically black, which are popular in Africa and areas with large black populations, such as Brazil and the United States. The Black Madonnas are generally found in Catholic areas.
