Our Lady of Talpa

Our Lady of Talpa is a revered Marian devotion in Mexico, centered on an image of the Virgin Mary that is believed to have miraculous healing powers. The story traces back to a miraculous appearance of the Virgin to a farmer in the 18th century, prompting the construction of a church in Talpa de Allende. Pilgrims visit the basilica to pray for health, guidance, and blessings, especially during the annual feast days. The devotion exemplifies deep faith and cultural identity for many Mexicans, symbolizing hope, protection, and the spiritual connection to Mary.
