Könnyezo Szuz Mária (Gyor, Gyor-Moson-Sopron, Hungary)
Commemorated on March 17
After Cromwell's takeover in 1649, Walter Lynch, Catholic bishop of Clonfert, Ireland, took the painting of the Comforter of the Afflicted with him into exile. In Vienna he met the bishop of Gyor, Hungary, who invited him there. Bishop Lynch served in Gyor until his death in 1663. He was buried in the Cathedral and the painting was installed there. On March 17, 1697, the Irish Madonna began weeping at early mass in Gyor Cathedral, where for three hours thousands of people watched her bloody tears fall on to the sleeping child below her praying hands. The weeping continued after the tears were wiped off and the picture removed from its frame. Some people connected this with a law passed later that year in Dublin banning Catholic bishops from Ireland. In 1767, the Weeping Virgin Mary was set in a magnificent baroque altarpiece. Against a dark background, the Madonna looks down at the baby asleep on a little bed, neatly tucked between two sheets and a red brocade spread, with his head on two pillows. His chest and arms are bare. She wears a pinkish gray veil over brown hair and a blue mantle over a terracotta robe. Information from the Diocese of Gyor, www.gyor.egyhazmegye.hu/index.php?t=st&id=9, and other sources.
