The Black Virgin was once venerated as being something miraculous, because it grew darker over time. Unfortunately, my friends have never venerated me as I've grown darker over the years, they've only grown more and more disturbed at the sight of my darkness. I suspect they may even call me the "Black Chino" behind my back ... People later found out the Black Virgin grew darker because of candle soot, so she was actually just very dirty. However, they eventually just painted her black, since she was known as the Black Virgin. It's customary that people visiting her touch the orb in her right hand. Is it wrong that so many people are grabbing a virgin's orb?
