The enduring legend of the Irish Madonna of Hungary
An extraordinary thing happened in the Hungarian city of Gyor on St Patrick’s Day, March 17 1697. A painting of the Virgin and Child, brought to the city 42 years previously by Bishop Walter Lynch, a member of the esteemed Lynch family of Galway, began to ‘weep copiously’ during Mass.

It dares you to write on it, to make sure that its journey from tree to page is not lost on something less than meaningful.
