Our Lady of Częstochowa is, a venerated icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary, housed at the Jasna Góra Monastery in Częstochowa, Poland. Pope Clement XI issued a Pontifical decree of canonical coronation to the image on 8 September 1717 via the Vatican Chapter. It has also merited three pontifical golden roses. The icon is venerated by both Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians. The icon is depicted in the iconography first originating from Antwerp, where the image of Częstochowa was reproduced as it looked from the middle of the 17th century, with additional details - crowns on the heads of the Mother of God and the Child, a parapet wall in the foreground, votives, and precious adornments. In 1656, the icon was proclaimed the Patroness and Protectress of Poland as a result of the events of the Polish-Swedish war of 1655, when, after the defense of the Yasnogorsk monastery, the expulsion of the Swedish troops began.
