EDITORS COMMENTS
The Miracle Picture of Einsiedeln is a captivating and intricately detailed woodcut print from the second half of the 18th century, originating from the town of Zug in Switzerland. This enchanting artwork depicts a miraculous event that is deeply rooted in the history and folklore of Einsiedeln. At the heart of the image lies the Abbey of Einsiedeln, a prominent and historic Benedictine monastery nestled in the Swiss Alps. The abbey is renowned for its sacred relics, particularly the image of the Virgin Mary, which is believed to have performed numerous miracles throughout the centuries. In this woodcut print, the Virgin Mary is shown appearing before a group of humble pilgrims. She extends her hand towards them, bestowing her blessings upon the faithful. The scene is filled with a sense of awe and reverence, as the pilgrims kneel in prayer and adoration. Surrounding the central image of the Virgin Mary are intricate details of the abbey and the surrounding landscape. The mountains, forests, and winding roads all contribute to the sense of otherworldliness and wonder. The Miracle Picture of Einsiedeln is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the deep connection between the people of Switzerland and their religious heritage. This beautiful and intricate woodcut print invites us to reflect on the miraculous and the divine, and to appreciate the rich history and culture of Zug and the Abbey of Einsiedeln.
