We have been exploring many Black Madonnas from the Basque Region of Spain in recent episodes, and I thought it would be interesting and informative to delve into the ancient spiritual traditions of the region. I was correct in that assumption. Mari the Basque Earth Mother Goddess has many qualities which have obviously influenced the Cult, art and folklore of the Virgin Mary along the Northern Camino.

For this episode, once again we will be exploring a Black Madonna whose the restoration of the original image makes this Madonna lighter than she once was. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Aránzazu (Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Aránzazu) is one of the most significant and celebrated religious and cultural sites in the Basque Country. The Sanctuary and the Image of Mary hold immense importance for both its spiritual history and its striking modern architecture.

This episode features Santa Maria de Itziar. Our Lady is one of the Seven Black Virgins of Gipuzkoa, located next to the coastal path of the route to Santiago de Compostela. She is considered as a protective virgin and guide for walkers, as she is on the Camino de la Costa on the route to Santiago de Compostela. Santa Maria is another example of the consequences of restoration, but has a history of gilt silver and then updated to her current presentation.

For this episode, it is short and sweet and features a Black Madonna located in San Sebastian, a gateway city to the Northern Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Her miracles are typical of Black Madonnas in that she does not want to be moved, and that she has saved her community from fires.

For this episode, we will explore The Virgin of Juncal. This Black Madonna who has since been "restored" is the oldest Marian image in Gipuzkoa and probably in the entire Basque Country. Her shrine is in Irun, and aptly called The Church of Our Lady of Juncal or Iglesia Nuestra Señora del Juncal. The church owes its name to the discovery of a carved image of the Virgin in the reeds growing along the banks of the estuary in around the year 1400.
