Why Do I Sometimes Represents St. Bernard Of Clairvaux Receiving Breast Milk Of The Virgin Mary?
Monday, August 16th, 2010Bernard of Clairvaux is a monk of the eleventh century, in some ways it is represented kneeling before Mary suckling Jesus on her lap. In one of her breasts, she brings out a line of milk to the mouth of St. Bernard of Clairveaux. What is the significance of this representation? I remember that Bernard of Clairvaux and born 11th century after Mary.
I found this http://www.jcbourdais.net/journal/15mai06.php Miracle of Lactation of St. Bernard of Clairvaux is reported from the early fourteenth century in the "Ci says" instruction book Christian basis of "exempla". The establishment of the "exemplum" – where the saint is given the knowledge of Scripture and the faculty to preach after being nursed by the Virgin – was made by a series of progressive contamination whose point of departure is likely to be placed in an account of the Cistercian Caesarius of Heisterbach (died 1240) where the miracle is attributed to Henry, abbot of Clairvaux (1176-1179). Other factors related to features biographical and spirituality of the saint, have contributed to the fusion of character and the miracle
The milk is the Science that St. Bernard has received from God.
Subtle reference to the worship of the goddess-mother whose milk is a source of life, knowledge and light. The milk is still a sacred food in Hinduism.
