Our Lady of Covadonga

Our Lady of Covadonga is a revered Catholic title for the Virgin Mary associated with the Cave of Covadonga in Spain, where she is believed to have appeared in the 8th century. This event inspired the Christian resistance against Moorish invaders during the Reconquista. The site became a significant pilgrimage destination and symbol of Spanish Catholic heritage. The Virgin of Covadonga is often depicted as a spiritual protector and national emblem, representing faith, unity, and the Christian struggle to reclaim and uphold their territory and culture.
