DAY OF OUR LADY OF THE PILLAR
La Virgen del Pilar
The "October 12" it features before anyone else at the Virgen del Pilar, the first Marian image, which according to Christian tradition, occurred on January 2 the year 40 AD after the Virgin Mary appearing to St. James Major in Zaragoza, encouraging him to build a temple and preaching of Christianity in Roman Hispania then. The result of this, Santiago is the patron of Spain, as well as by Clavijo, and the Virgen del Pilar is the popular sentiment of the people, as the official mind is the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception.
particularly affected is the celebration for the Aragonese, as each year and on the designated date crowd the historic streets of Zaragoza to offer countless bouquets of flowers to the Virgin has been years in which the number attendance at the Offering of Flowers has touched the half million people.
I join in the distance the conclusion that today takes place in Zaragoza longing for the day years ago I visited the basilica and worshiped and prayed to Pilarica with my hand touching his cloak. Congratulations
has all manic and pillars in this day when the Blessed Virgin of Pilar is honored with devotion, love, and respect for all of Zaragoza and visitors.
CONGRATULATIONS!
