Madonna
deity single tradition · 2
The Madonna is an image that was moved to Montserrat in 718 to avoid danger from invading Saracens. The Benedictine monks could not move the statue to construct their monastery, so they built around it. The statue's sanctuary is located at the rear of the chapel, where an altar of gold surrounds the icon.
