Žalosna Gospa's devotional significance

“Žalosna Gospa” is not a commonly used given name, even within regions where Marian devotion is strong. Its prevalence is almost entirely limited to religious contexts, specifically within Catholicism. The name translates to “Sorrowful Lady” and refers to a depiction of the Virgin Mary mourning the Passion of Christ. It originated as a descriptive title, not a name passed down through generations, and carries a deeply melancholic and reverent mood. It is unequivocally feminine, and its usage is primarily devotional rather than secular. Its history is tied to the development of Marian piety and artistic representations of Mary’s suffering.
