The earliest Christians painted Mary and Jesus as Black. In Roman catacombs, medieval shrines, and ancient icons, they appear with dark skin and woolly hair. These images, known as Black Madonnas, were worshipped for centuries across Europe.
Even today, cathedrals in France, Spain, and Poland protect Black Madonna statues — proof that these depictions were once central to Christian faith. But as power shifted, artists began repainting Mary and Jesus with pale skin. If they weren’t Black, why whitewash them? The answer reveals how art and history were rewritten.
