Queen of the Holy Rosary

Banos de Agua Santa, Ecuador (1570)

 

A historical account states that one night the sexton of the church of Banos saw a small statue of the Virgin hovering in the air, and down to the spring. The event was repeated several times, so the pastor and locals gathered in the chapel to beg the Blessed Virgin to clearly tell them of her intentions. The next night the Virgin appeared to the priest asking the erection of a chapel at the spring, promising healing for all who bathe with faith in those waters. When it was complete, the statue had mysteriously disappeared. Later a mule with a box was delivered to the pastor who opened it in the presence of witnesses. With great wonder they discovered the statue of the Virgin venerated today in the sanctuary of Banos.
