The statue dedicated to the Virgin Mary of Csíksomlyó is located behind the main altar of the Church of Csíksomlyó. It was made of lime wood in the early 16th century . It depicts a woman dressed in the sun, with the moon at her feet and a wreath of twelve stars around her head as the Queen. She also holds a sceptre in her right hand, and the little Jesus, also wearing a crown, on her left arm.

            The statue is surrounded from top to bottom by a golden radiance. 

It is believed that the change in the colour of the face of the “Lady in the Sun”, with her striking sad expression, indicated to the faithful that an enemy or danger was approaching and that she was often in tears.
