Our Lady of Good Delivery

Paris, France (14th c.) 

 

The Marian title for the patroness of Easy Childbirth, which is quite popular throughout western Europe, is traditionally celebrated on May 29.

The title is also known as Our Lady of the Milk and Happy Delivery. One of the most  celebrated Madonnas in  Paris is the 14th century image carved from a single  block of hard limestone known by the title La Vierge  Noire de Paris.

It was  saved from destruction during the Revolution and is now preserved in the Church of St. Etienne de  Gres. The Institution of the  Confraternity of Our Lady of  Deliverance was established at the Church of St. Etienne  de Gres in 1533 or 1583.
