True art for freedom Madonna Revolution – no secret

A Madonna (Italian: [maˈdɔnna]) is a representation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, either alone or with her child Jesus. These images are central icons for both the Catholic and Orthodox churches.

The word is from Italian ma donna, meaning “my lady”.

The term Madonna in the sense of “picture or statue of the Virgin Mary” enters English usage in the 17th century, primarily in reference to works of the Italian Renaissance. In an Eastern Orthodox context, such images are typically known as Theotokos. “Madonna” may be generally used of representations of Mary, with or without the infant Jesus, is the focus and central figure of the image, possibly flanked or surrounded by angels or saints.

Madonna, Origins of Title

Q: What is the origin of the title, Madonna, for the Blessed Virgin Mary?

A: The designation Madonna (Italian) translates into English as Our Lady, and is known in other languages as Nuestra Senora (Spanish), Notre-Dame (French), Nossa Senhor (Portuguese) or Unsere liebe Frau (German). This Italian version of one of Mary’s most popular titles is the work of Saint Jerome. In explaining the meaning of Mary’s name he offered several versions. One of them proposes a meaning based on the Aramaic mar which means “Lord,” its feminine form (which should be marta!) therefore lady. As we know, this interpretation enjoyed wide acceptance and became the usual title applied to Mary in modern languages and means lady.

Madonna is a revolution in art and freedom for all of us.
