Some prayer cards for sale materialised in our chapel this morning.
A reddish haired Mary with the Infant, both crowned with almost eastern-looking diadems,labelled Our Lady of Ireland. The picture it seems was brought to Hungary by the exiled Bishop of Clonfert during the penal era. Although Hungary is of the Latin tradition the principal phenomena associated with the object- emissions of oil- is culturally Eastern. At one stage a novena was held in this Hungarian cathedral to March 17, considered the title's principal feast.
A copy was made for a US church (the Ohio connection is probably the origin of our American-made cards), possibly the only other place where it's generally known of?
Mr Maolsheachlann's amazing Irish priests' articles is a good reminder of the extent of the influence of many professional Irish clergy. I discovered that an Austrian missionary to Brazil beatified by Benedict XVI, Bárbara Maix, died (and is now commemorated on) on St Patrick's Day... It's interesting to note that, due to the work of a friar named Luke Wadding, it was at the time of her death
on the universal calendar (although the feast was noted by some in Europe for centuries before him- Italian-published The Golden Legend and the life of Gertrude of Nivelles are two examples). Bárbara's congregation was dedicated to the Immaculate Heart, Wadding had petitioned Rome for the definition of the Immaculate Conception two centuries earlier.
I'm not sure how many people are aware of this Hungarian Marian devotion however?
