So happy to hear th e painting is not damaged. The other thought that came to my mind is that Our Lady is going to take care of that man…prayers fo r him…

AFP – Polish police detained a 58-year-old man Sunday after he
threw vials of black paint at the Black Madonna of Czestochowa, an
ancient Catholic icon of the Virgin Mary believed to work miracles.

A protective pane of glass over the painted protected it from any damage, local police spokeswoman Joanna Lazar told reporters.

Guards at the monastery in the southern city of Czestochowa had
quickly overpowered the man responsible and handed him over to police,
she added.

The detained man had been questioned and was expected to undergo a
psychiatric evaluation, Lazar said. His name has not been released.

Lazar added that he could be charged with offending religious sentiment, an offense punishable by up to two years in prison.

"The faithful have been calling us crying to ask what happened,"
monastery spokesman Father Robert Jasiulewicz told the news agency PAP.

"We've reassured them that the painting is intact."
