On the outside of the Cathedral there is a statue of the Blessed Virgin with the moon under her feet, she looks black! This is an unusual image of Mary and honestly a bit disturbing. The Blessed Virgin was middle eastern, therefore she was either tan or white. There were and still are very few black jews, so that increases the chance she was either tan or white, not black. But it doesnt matter what color she was. But still, it is a weird statue of her.
A black Virgin Mary is very uncommon.
