The book explores the rich history of Chartres Cathedral, tracing its origins back to ancient Druid worship of a virgin figure. Jean Markale argues that the site, once a gathering place for Druids, has evolved into a Christian sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin Mary, embodying themes of motherhood and continuous creation. He connects the veneration of the Black Madonna to ancient mother goddess worship, suggesting a deep theological significance behind the imagery. Markale's extensive research on pre-Christian and medieval spirituality enriches this examination.
