That makes seven large pictures you’ve posted to me within the hour.
Please stop spamming illustrations to me, the majority of which I find offensive to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Below is the The Black Madonna of Częstochowa, a Polish national symbol. Numerous legends trace the icon's origin to St. Luke who painted it on a cypress table top from the house of the Holy Family.
"The Virgin Mary is shown as the 'Hodegetria' ("One Who Shows the Way"). In it the Virgin directs attention away from herself, gesturing with her right hand toward Jesus as the source of salvation. In turn, the child extends his right hand toward the viewer in blessing while holding a book of gospels in his left hand."

Paintings and icons of Mary and Jesus: offensive? To some, maybe:
"it burns, it burns... "
