Miracle of Our Lady of the Pillar

Miraculously, scientists have found that a mysterious statue in a Spanish cathedral is made of material not found on this earth and the pillar it stands on plunges deep into the earth, so that no one has ever been able to find its end.

Our true story begins with St. James the apostle, who was having a hard time evangelizing a certain part of Spain, until one night, he prayed asking Our Lady for help.

Hello and welcome to America Needs Fatima, my name is Adrien Fonseca! Thanks for being here with me today. This channel is dedicated solely to spreading awareness and devotion to Our Lady. If you think there should be more devotion to Our Lady on the internet, consider subscribing, and sharing our videos with family and friends! Thank you!

Okay, on to our story for today. The miraculous origins of the Virgin of the Pillar has proven to me that Our Lady rewards those who have a devotion to her.

St. James was one of those people with a special devotion to the Blessed Mother. In 40 AD, when he became the apostle to what is now Spain, he was having a hard time evangelizing the northern region of Zaragoza. One night, as he prayed asking for help, he suddenly beheld a great light. In the middle of it, he saw Our Lady surrounded by a multitude of angels.

The interesting thing is that Mary was still living in Jerusalem at the time. But as queen of the Church, she was given the ability to see all that concerned her Son’s work. She asked Jesus’s permission to help him in a special way.
So Our Lord asked His mother to go to Zaragoza. It was His desire that St. James return to Jerusalem to suffer martyrdom, but first he must build a church in Zaragoza, in Our Lady’s name, where she would be venerated for the welfare Spain.

And so, a band of angels raised Our Lady on their wings and bore her through the air across the Mediterranean.

Just to pause here for a moment, the story I’m telling you comes from the writings of Venerable Maria of Agreda, who was shown the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary in detail. Maria of Agreda’s work provides us such incredible insights into the real life of Our Blessed Mother. I highly recommend reading it yourself if you can!

Our Lady appeared to St. James, she directed the angels to place a pillar and statue in the place where they still stand today. Then she told him that in that very place he would build a chapel, where the statue would last with the Faith until the end of the world. And to be sure the statue would remain safe until the end of time, she left an angel to guard the spot.

Soon after, St. James and his disciples built a modest chapel, sixteen feet long by eight feet wide, to enclose the Virgin’s gift. With that, the church of the Pillar became the first shrine ever raised in Our Lady’s honor.

Over time, the fame of miracles attributed to the Virgin of the Pillar spread far and wide. With the offerings of the many pilgrims that visited the shrine, a church was built around the column and statue, and now it’s a cathedral.

And Our Lady’s word has been true! If you stand in the cathedral now and tilt your head upwards, your eyes will come to a dead halt on bombs hanging from the ceiling. Yes, those bombs were dropped there during Spain’s civil war, they hit the cathedral but never caused it any harm.

And listen to this—In attempting to match the granite the pillar is made of, scientists have been able to find similar, but not identical, granite and only in other parts of the world. The statue of the Virgin is made of a material not found on this earth. And by a miraculous divine action, no dust ever settles on it, so for almost 2,000 years the statue has never needed dusting. As I mentioned before, another one of the marvels concerning this pillar is that it plunges into the earth, so that none have ever been able to find its end.

The holy chapel is never unoccupied for a moment from daybreak until the doors are closed at night. This tells me Our Lady of the Pillar truly is universally loved. I hope that after hearing her story today, you’ll find yourself among her devotees.
