    Czestochowa in all her robed glory

    Via Matthew of HolyWhapping:

    "Alert reader Nancy sent me a most intriguing link to the "robes," or metal icon-covers, given to clothe the image of Our Lady of Czestochowa (feast day August 26, so naturally this is a bit belated) over the years."

    Matthew has more from Nancy...

    The "robes" I copied at left are my favorite of the ones displayed. I find it interesting that each covering leaves Mary's hand visible. I think that the hand at her heart symbolizes her reflection upon and spiritual communion with the actions of Jesus during his life and ministry.

    I was able to visit Our Lady of Czestochowa when I was in Poland, and was even able to attend a Mass celebrated in the Chapel. I also bought an Icon of OLC and brought it back to my family as a present.
