October 25: OUR LADY OF TOLEDO

There are so many masterpieces of art and beautiful shrines in the City of Toledo, Spain, that a visitor may easily miss the White Virgin; for she is hidden away inside the grilled choir of Toledo’s magnificent cathedral.

The sacred image of Our Lady is a woodcarving of the fourteenth century.  Both Mother and Child are clothed in white, their garments bordered with jeweled gold.  Their faces darkened by time are framed with curly, strawberry-blond hair.

The statue has also been called the “smiling Virgin of Toledo;” for the Child’s right hand caresses His Mother’s face.  She responds with a smile that gives this image its popular name.
