The Weeping Madonna of Clonfert And Gyor

Last week I mentioned the weeping picture of Our Lady which in the 17th century came from Ireland to Hungary.

Maureen of "Aliens in this World" has supplied me with a few more links on that topic. [Go raibh mile maith agat, a Mhairin.] This one gives a more complete history of the picture. A picture of the cathedral where it resides is here. (The caption can be safely ignored; your digestion will thank you.) Some other pictures of Gyor can be found here.

Visit her site, too, so long as you're browsing. She has some very nice tales of the Irish saints.
