Our Lady of the Miracle 3
Tunja, Colombia (1626)
On August 24, 1626, in Tunja, Colombia, two nuns of the Conceptionist Order were crossing the patio of their convent in early morning darkness after prayers, when they noticed an image of the Virgin Mary reflected in a puddle.
Looking up, they saw her apparition in the sky. Then a bright light drew their attention to an adjacent cell, where the same image of Mary appeared on a cloth in the window. The nuns told the rest of their sisters, who all came to prostrate themselves before the miracle image.
In 1880, the Conceptionists moved to the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, bringing with them the sacred painting. Now known as the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Miracle, the church still draws thousands.
