BLM EXCOMMUNICATED: Priest Denies Communion to All Members of Black Lives Matterhttps://russian-faith.com/culture/blm-excommunicated-priest-denies-communion-all-members-black-lives-matter-n3345
"As a priest in the Orthodox Church, it is my duty to ban members of Black Lives Matter from receiving Communion. I will not desecrate the precious Body and Blood of Christ, by allowing it to touch the unclean lips of those who are members of that satanic organization. If they want to take communion, they will have to find some other church."
"Members of Black Lives Matter need to get on their knees, and ask forgiveness for their participation in this godless movement."
...
Don't know if any BLM members are Russian Orthodox.
Are lefties allowed to say "virtue signalling" about right wingers?

As evidenced from the icon on the right, it appears Orthodox Christians were not unaware of the Black Madonna. They too venerate her. The icon is popular in Ukraine and Belarus as the former parts of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and even in Russia. Moreover, this icon has Orthodox origin. But Polish historians found out it was repainted at least twice and there's almost nothing left from the previous Byzantine manner of painting.[5]
Ukrainians have a special devotion for the Madonna of Częstochowa. The icon is often mentioned in Ukrainian folk songs from XVI-XVII cc.[2]
In Vodou, it is believed that a common depiction of Erzulie has its roots in copies of the icon of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, brought to Haiti by Polish soldiers fighting on both sides of the Haitian Revolution from 1802 onwards.[6] In her Petro nation aspect as Erzulie Dantor she is often depicted as a scarred and buxom woman, holding a child protectively in one hand and a knife in the other [what knife?]. She is a warrior and particularly a fierce protector of women and children. In Santeria, this image is referred to as Santa Barbara Africana.

The image was apparently rendered with original dark flesh tones, there being no evidence that the black colouration resulted (as some have claimed) later from smoke, fires or the discoloration of age. It is probably of fourteenth-century manufacture, consistent with the lack of provenance before 1384 when the icon appeared at the Jasna Góra monastery.

at least if you are a member of BLM. I wonder if you have to have a membership card to be banned or is just marching with them enough.
