Icon done by conservator-restorer, technique reproduction, made on a wooden board, finished in a traditional manner, hand gilded, covered with amber shellac and varnished.
One of the oldest documents from Jasna Góra states that the picture travelled from Jerusalem, via Constantinople and Belz to finally reach Częstochowa in August 1382
The next earliest mention of the picture occurs in the Liber Beneficiorium, the work of Jan Dlugosz, the first Polish historian, some 70-80 years after the picture's arrival at Jasna Gora.
Ladislaus Opolczyk journeying to Silesia with the picture stopped to rest in Czestochowa near the small church on Jasna Gora. Here he discerned that Our Lady wished to have the picture remained on this spot. He thus left the picture at the Jasna Gora Church and invited the white-robed Pauline Fathers from Hungary to be in charge of the shrine.
Tradition dates this event on August 26, 1382.
