At Tsuruoka Catholic Church, in the basilica, a wooden-statue of Virgin Mary with Infant Christ has been an object of veneration for the faithful and pilgrimages since 1903. The statue, faces of Mary and the Son both are painted in dark-brown, is one of 6 copies (ca.1895) from the original work, Vierge Noire=Black Virgin of Delivrande (Normandie, France), curved in stone, very famous in France and England since 13th century. In following papers, on the Vierge Noire of Delivrande, based on a field survey of mine (2007, 2008) and data for investigation, first I would like to guess an enigma concerning the origin of Vierge Noire in France. Secondly, I focus on the Vierge Noire of Delivrande, regarding a history from the beginning of the town Delivrande and the statue, then I discuss on that the statue would have been originally a type of Romanesque-Maesta (strictly seated) (ca.1030/1130), but after demolished by a group of Protestantism (1561), it was restored in a new Normandie-Gothique style (standing, employing a posture dehanshee and childish movement of Infant Christ). Lastly, I shall describe the scene of procession in the Couronnement-ceremony at Delinrande (16. Aug. 2008).
