The Swoon of the Virgin was an idea developed in the late Middle Ages, that the Virgin Mary had fainted during the Passion of the Christ, most often placed while she watched the Cruxifiction of Jesus. It was based on mentions in later texts of the apochryphal gospel in the Acta Pilati, which describe Mary swooning. It was popular in late medieval art and theological literature, but as it was not mentioned in the Canonical Gospels, it became controversial, and from the 16th Century was discouraged by many senior churchmen. From the church of San Ferno, Verona
