Summary

Description

Our Lady of the Gate of Dawn (Lithuanian: Aušros Vartų Dievo Motina, Polish: Matka Boska Ostrobramska, Belarusian: Маці Божая Вастрабрамская) is the prominent painting of the Blessed Virgin Mary venerated by the faithful in the Chapel of the Gate of Dawn. The Renaissance painting, completed possibly in the first half of the 17th century, is an unusual portrayal of Madonna as she is depicted without infant Jesus. The artwork soon became known as miraculous and inspired a following. A dedicated chapel was built in 1671 by the Discalced Carmelites. At the same time, possibly borrowing from the Eastern Orthodox tradition, the painting was covered in expensive and elaborate silver and gold clothes leaving only the face and hands visible.

Het hangt in een hele kleine ruimte en is niet alleen binnen te bewonderen (alleen via een lange steile trap te bereiken), maar ook vanaf de straat eronder, zie daarvoor de eerdere foto van de kapel. Als je slecht ter been bent, kun je op dagen dat het mooi weer is het icoon ook door het openstaande raam vanaf de straat zien, niet en detail, maar toch. De hele dag door bidden er binnen mensen, inwoners van Vilnius, veel nonnen en ook toeristen. Beneden op straat staan vaak (oudere) vrouwen uit Vilnius hun rozenkrans te bidden.
