Our Lady of Milk BREASTFEEDING MADONNA

Our Lady of Milk and Happy Delivery


The Cave of Milk (Milk Grotto)

The Milk Grotto Church in Bethlehem. Heals Infertile Couples

Spilt milk turned stone white, tradition says

According to tradition, while Mary and Joseph were fleeing Herod’s soldiers on their way to Egypt, they stopped in this cave while Mary nursed the baby Jesus. A drop of Mary’s milk fell upon the stone and it turned white.

The grotto has been a site of veneration since the 4th century, the first structure being built over it around AD 385.

Breastfeeding and Theology of the Body



Devotion growing for breast-feeding Virgin Mary

“Breast-feeding is a means to holiness [so] we are promoting the devotion to the breast-feeding Blessed Mother who is the epitome of holiness,” she said.
An image of a breast-feeding Virgin Mary has been quietly making the rounds of homes and hospitals in Manila and nearby provinces, granting wishes of women desperate for a child and having troubles with their milk.

Hail Mary, Virgin Full of Sweetness and Humility,
from whom the King of Heaven Willed to be
Born and to Suckle at the Breast.



JESUS THE PHYSICIAN – MAMA MARY THE NURSE. 

❝ Mary bore a mute Babe though in Him were hidden all our tongues. Joseph carried Him, yet hidden in Him was a silent nature older than everything. The Lofty One became like a little child, yet hidden in Him was a treasure of Wisdom that suffices for all. He was lofty but He sucked Mary's milk, and from His blessings all creation sucks. He is the Living Breast of living breath: by His life the dead were suckled, and They revived. Without the breath of air no one can live; without the power of the Son no one can rise. Upon the living breath of the One Who vivifies all the living beings depend above and below. As indeed He sucked Mary's milk, He has given suck - life to the universe . Again as He dwelt in His mother's womb, in His womb dwells all creation. He was mute as a babe, yet He gave to all creation all His commands. For the First-Born without no one is able to approach Being, for He alone is capable of it. ❞ - St. Ephraem's Hymns on the Nativity
