01 Work, CONTEMPORARY & 20th Century Interpretation of the Bible! Borys Fiodorowicz’s Madonna and Madonna. With Footnotes – #44

A Madonna is a representation of 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. More on Madonna
