Beautiful little church near the fortress

An image of the Virgin Mary in this church, which was entrusted to the patronage of John the Baptist, was supposedly painted (as was previously believed) by the Evangelist Luke. In his version of the "Good News" (this is the translation/meaning of the term "Gospel"), he not only described the life, deeds, and sayings of Jesus Christ himself, but also repeatedly mentioned the Mother of God, Mary. This begins with the angel's announcement to her that she would give birth to the Son of God.
Therefore, in the Middle Ages, images of the Virgin Mary were often assumed to have been painted by the Evangelist Luke. It was a common idea at the time that he not only described her in words in the Gospel but also painted her. Even though the image venerated here naturally dates from a much later era, the legend of its origin according to Luke was very popular in the past.
