This story of Mary goes back to the 1600's. The story goes that the terra cotta statue was made in Brazil and was being transported to the village of Sumampa. The caravan carrying the statue stopped for the night near Lujan in Argentina. Early the next morning, the group prepared to continue their journey, but the cart with the statue of the Virgin, would not move. No matter how much they coaxed the oxen just stood still. When the statue of Mary was removed, they went on their way. The people decided that Mary wanted to stay there and a chapel was built for her. Pilgrims came from all over and miracles occurred. Eventually a beautiful basilica was built to house the little statue. She was clothed in blue and white and later Argentina's flag was designed to represent “the colors of the Immaculate of Lujan.” The faithful of Argentina have a special love for Mary and she must love them too because Pope Francis came from this faithful South American country.
Her feast day is May 8.
