Our Lady of the Pillar
According to an ancient Spanish tradition, recorded in the Roman Breviary for 12 October, the Blessed Virgin appeared to St James the Apostle as he prayed on the banks of the Ebro at Zaragoza and asked him to build a church there. The venerated image of Our Lady stands on a pillar, which gives the shrine its name.
