Our Lady of Dublin, Medieval Madonna statue in Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church, Ireland
The Our Lady of Dublin statue stands near the high altar of Whitefriar Street Church, carved in oak at life size dimensions representing the Madonna and Child.
The statue's first documented mention appears in a 1749 survey of Dublin's Catholic Chapels, though its origins may trace back to St. Mary's Abbey from 1539.
The Black Madonna of Ireland represents a central figure in Irish Catholic devotion, with annual celebrations held on September 8th at the Whitefriar Street Church.
Visitors can view the statue in its purpose-built shrine at Whitefriar Street Church, located at 56 Aungier Street in central Dublin.
Father John Spratt rediscovered the statue in 1824, leading to its restoration and permanent placement in a specially constructed shrine since 1915.
