The Templars brought with them the devotion to the Black Madonna from Ethiopia.
The colors of their order was black and red symbolizing light and sacrifice.
They even wore a double black and red cord around their necks that represented
this and their flag also had black, white and red colors. For them, the Black
Madonna also reminded them of the Queen of Sheba and her son Menelik, the first
Emperor of Ethiopia when they were the guards of the Ark of the Covenant under
Emperor St. Lalibela who developed the stone cross Churches of Lasta Province.
But the Templars were devoted to the Mother of God specifically under her titles
of "Our Lady of Light" and "Ark of the Covenant." For this reason, which is
quite in keeping with the Eastern Church's theology and iconography, the Templar
Madonnas were Black.
