This mosaic is a reproduction of the Black Madonna, a revered Polish icon, by Jan E. Krantz. The original, called Our Lady of Czestochowa, is housed in Jansa Gora Monastery in Czestochowa, Poland. The mosaic depicts the Virgin Mary holding an infant Jesus. This reproduction was gifted to President Lyndon B. Johnson in the Rose Garden by United States Senator Ed Muskie of Maine on behalf of the Polish-American people at the Polish National and Christian Millennium Day on May 3, 1966. President Johnson's proclamation of the day marked the 1000th anniversary of Polish Christian identity and nationhood, claiming it as the beginning of Poland's participation in the community of western nations. President Johnson later requested the mosaic be placed in the Immaculate Conception Church in Panna Maria, Texas, the oldest Polish settlement in the United States.
