This Marian image has its origins in the coastal waters of Margarita, where the living image of Our Lady of the Valley miraculously appeared after the hurricane of Nueva Cadiz in 1652. Prayer to the Virgin of the Valley
In Catamarca, Argentina, she had her first apparition to a villager who saw traces of fire near a ravine, and when he went closer he found an image of the Virgin Mary; from that moment on he was devoted to Our Lady of the Valley of Catamarca.
The many miracles that are a faithful testimony of Our Lady’s mercy are fruits of devotion and faith; with these beautiful prayers to the Virgin of the Valley, let us honour the goodness and unconditional love that the Immaculate Virgin has given us.
