The Legend of Positano’s Black Madonna

According to local lore, a 12th-century pirate ship carrying a stolen Byzantine icon of the Virgin Mary became stranded off the coast. The sailors heard a mysterious voice whisper from the sea, “Posa, posa!” (“Put me down!”). Once they brought the icon ashore, the storm ceased, giving Positano its name and its treasured patron saint.
