At the time of the posting of this episode, we are well into May. Notre Dame du Port from Clermont-Ferrand in France is the focus. Her festival which is celebrated to this day with a special Novena and procession, occurs each year on the first Sunday after May 15th, her official feast day. Notre Dame du Port has many threads that connect her with other Black Madonnas , particularly in Europe.

It is May, the Month of Mary and also the anniversary month for The Black Madonna Speaks. We now have three years of programming completed, and in the process have become a trusted source of information and discovery on The Black Madonna. For this episode, a chapter of Byzantium and The Black Madonna will be read by author and host Stephanie Georgieff. The chapter is entitled "Ephesus, Artemis and The Dark Virgin" and explores the evolution of the mysteries of Ephesus from ancient times through the early centuries of the Christian Movement. This fascinating overview shows how The Black Madonna may have been influenced by such mysteries and what such an evolution has to offer us in our modern era.

To receive weekly recorded chapters of Byzantium and The Black Madonna as well as upcoming books on Africa and The Black Madonna, and how The Black Madonna is a connector between Heaven and Earth, sign up for any level of support at Patreon to be the first to hear these as of yet unpublished books. https⁠//www.patreon.com/TheBlackMadonnaSpeaks

Dear Listeners,

I hope these days after Easter are finding you renewed. I will be taking a bit of a break from regular programing for the next few weeks, and will be playing some of The Black Madonna Speaks more popular podcasts from our large archive of programming. I look forward to beginning the new year of episodes as May is our anniversary month. Until then, I wish you many blessings on your journey!

Here we are, the sixth week of Lent, more commonly known as Holy Week. The final Sunday of Lent is considered Palm Sunday, an echo of that triumphant entry of Christ Jesus into Jerusalem as he began the most significant week of his earthly mission. The Mother of God of the Bull, or as she is known to her Catalonian community of Olot : Mare de Dèu del Tura, will be our exploration for this time. Our Lady of Olot is of note for this last stretch of the Lenten journey, particularly due to one of the folk customs regarding her and the small children who are brought to her as they begin to walk.

We are entering what some would call the home stretch of the forty day journey towards Easter. For this fifth week of Lent, we will be exploring the vast history of Our Lady of Peńa de Francia in Catalonia. Not only does our Lady of Peña de Francia involve various histories due to the fact that her origins involve the geographical fluid region between France and Spain, she also incorporates much of the uniqueness of Spain in its multi ethnic and cultural heritage. To top off her symbolism, The Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Peña de Francia, where the Spanish image is currently housed, is a place of pilgrimage.
