Her Story
Dominican friars carried evangelization expeditions into the central region of Colombia. In 1560 Antón de Santana, Spanish gentleman obtained commission to build a house with different uses, the administration of settlers, indigenous people and slaves; he further build a chapel for religious services in Suta,
Fray Andrés Jadraque, saw the need to put a painting of the Virgen del Rosario in the chapel. Alonso de Narváez, Spanish painter from Tunja, in Boyacá, was asked to do it. He paint the image of San Antonio next to the Virgin for being the first patron of him, and San Andrés, patron of the friar who had ordered it on her sides.
From 1562 to 1574, the painting remain in the chapel, as a result of the humidity, the image was deleted, and was taken to the town of Chiquinquirá, abandoned in an oratory.
In the year 1586 María Ramos, a local woman, knowing that the canvas had the image of the Virgin Mary, prayed daily asking the Virgin to manifest herself, on December 26, 1586, an indigenous woman named Isabel together and her little son, passing by, shouted "look, Look Madam..." When she directed her gaze to the painting, it shone the unrecognizable image, as its original colors and shine. Since then the devotion known as "Our Lady of Rosario de Chiquinquirá" began.
After a strong earthquake in 1785, anew Basilica was build, and transferred the image of the Virgin in 1823.
Since then, she is the patron from Venezuela and Colombia.
