FAQ – Facts about Our Lady of Einsiedeln
Why is the Madonna of Einsiedeln black?
The dark color originally resulted from the soot of candles and oil lamps in the Chapel of Grace over centuries. During restorations, this characteristic color was intentionally preserved to maintain its iconic appearance.
What is the best way to care for my wood carving?
Wood is a living material. Avoid direct heat from radiators or damp areas. A soft, dry brush is usually sufficient to remove fine dust from the intricate carved details.
