23rd September : Our Lade Of Valvencre
23rd September
Our Lade Of Valvencre
Country : Spain
Year :
Our Lady of Valvencre is in Spain. The statue was found in an oak tree. Our Lady apparently has a preference for oak trees, since this is one of several statues found in or on an oak tree. On that very spot today is seen the magnificent church which Alphonsus IV, King of Castile, built in honor of the Mother of God, and which houses the image.
She, the valiant woman of Scripture, desired her children, her clients and her devotees to share in a spiritual manner, in the strength and the power of this mighty tree, which is certainly a symbol of her.
