When I was a kid, my best friend was named Donald Kaminski. I was over at his house for dinner once when his Great Aunt Lucja was visiting. She was this crazy lady from the old country who spoke hardly any English. After dinner, she gave me a little card with a picture on one side and printing on the other. I thought it was a Polish baseball card or something, but it was an old-time picture of Mary and the baby Jesus. Don’s dad said that it was a holy picture. He read the stuff on the back to me. It was all about the painting, which was called Our Lady of Częstochowa, and had all sorts of neat stuff about sieges and battles, and thieves being struck dead as they tried to steal the painting. I loved it. I never dreamed I’d ever hold the real Black Madonna in my hands someday.
