The relief of Our Lady of Light by Ferenc Lebó is a relief of Our Lady of Light placed on the wall of the cathedral facing St. László Visitor Center. I have a slight sense that the important information that the grace of the Virgin Mary of Light, which is significant among the sacred memories of the world, is not incidental behind the walls is not being published. According to the story, the picture of the child leaning over Jesus and praying to the Virgin was brought to Győr by Bishop Walter Lynch of Clonfert, because during the persecution of Oliver Cromwell the bishop was forced to flee his homeland. He met with the then bishop of Győr, János Püsky, who invited him to Győr and appointed him canon. He lived in Győr for eight years, until his death in 1663, when the picture was placed on one of the side walls of St. Anne's Chapel. A few decades later, Catholic persecution broke out in Ireland again, with all the bishops of the country being exiled by a parliamentary resolution. On March 17, 1697, the day of St. Patrick, the converting apostle and patron saint of Ireland, a bloody tear flowed from the eyes of Our Lady depicted in a picture preserved in Győr from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. “Soon the church was filled with the faithful, the people of the chapter took the picture off the wall, the wall was dry, and the picture not only continued to tear but also soaked in bloody sweat. The drops have been wiped off with a clean white eight, but the picture painted on the canvas tears again, so that a few drops have fallen on the face of little Jesus, the traces of which can still be seen in the picture, ”writes Catholic priest Elek Jordanszky in his work on the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The shawl was later framed by Bishop Ferenc Zichy in a silver frame, which can still be seen in the treasury today. Guarded as a dreaded treasure of the cathedral of Győr, the Madonna of Ireland has become a real symbol of the reunion of the two peoples.
