Best Answer

When St. Helen found the painting (about 300 years after it was painted) she gave it to her son Constantine. He built a shrine in Constantinople and put the painting there.

The painting was moved to the Royal palace of Belz after Constantinople was attacked and the chapel and painting caught fire. This is why the Virgin Mary and Jesus appear black, because of the soot from the fire.

There are many images of the black madonna in Europe and Black Jesus' as well.

The supposed soot only settled on the face and hands, never on the clothes which is impossible: so the whole idea is rideculous and borders on scientific misconduct.

As the European elite (1100-1848) was black and brown of complexion, and the lowly serfs were whites, god was considered black. Blacks might have been only 2-3%, and a smaller part noble, and a still smaller part the higher blue blood nobility. Blue blood was black blood.
