agree  Dylan Edwards: Your link has both "Our Lady of Suffering" and "Our Lady of Sorrows". "Suffering" is closer to the Czech, I suppose.

  -> Thanks, Dylan. Yes, indeed, I did consider "Our Lady of Sorrows", but "Our Lady of Suffering" seemed closer to the Czech original.
neutral  Pavel Blann: dear lingua chick, you translated "Naše Panna Marie Trpitelka", not "žena bolesti" // Suffering is mainly "utrpení", which can cause pain "bolest". Our Lady is mainly "Panna Marie", woman is "žena", etc.

  -> Hi again, Pavel. In the context here "suffering" means "pain". Please see Roget's Thesaurus :-)// Dear Pavel, we are not talking about any old "zena", but the Blessed Virgin Mary. I appreciate your comment, but am sorry to have to disagree.
