Vierge Noire de Rocamadour
A close up of the statue of Our Lady of Rocamadour in France.
According to an old legend the statue was carved by St Amator, who is identified with Zacchaeus, the tax collector of Jericho mentioned in Luke 19:1-10. The same legend reports that he was the husband of St Veronica, who wiped Jesus’ face on the way to Calvary, and that they preached the Gospel together in Gaul.
