Controversy: It makes a lot of sense for everyone of different ethnicity to want their Jesus, Santa Claus, deities to look like them. Why would it be any different for the mother of Jesus. So concerning the Black Madonna it is believed the reason for it being black is some were originally black or brown when they were made, others have simply turned darker due to factors like ageing or candle smoke. Another speculated cause for the dark-skinned depiction is due to pre-Christian deities being re-envisioned as the Madonna and child, according to Wikipedia. It can be considered African art, medieval origin(12C-15C), the Black Virgin was venerated pagan by the early Catholics and recently the Black Madonna for some feminist suggest it indicates a perspective on Mary underemphasized in traditional Christian doctrine. They couldn’t dispute the fact that even though it was black miracles still continued to happens giving it approval. It would be wrong of me to be ignorant to say, “does it really matter if it’s black?” It definitely does and to so many and also for those who racist. Our problem is we’re not able to see or comprehend truth as we should. There’s beauty in differences. A bouquet of flowers, the beauty of it is it’s many colors of the different types, but still all flowers.

Psalm 139:12 “Even the darkness will not be dark to you. The night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.” God is not coloured blind, but He is intentional with all His creation to say, according to Genesis 1:31 “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.”
