Novena

to the Virgin of
Candelaria

anary Islands were conquered and

Christianized by Spain in the year 1496.
Before this conquest, the apparition of Our
Lady of Candelaria happened. According to
this tradition, shepherds were pushing their
cows to a cave for the nights rest when one
of them noticed that one of the cows did not
want to enter the cave. Trying to know the
reason why, one of the shepherds saw at the
entrance of the cave an image of a woman
which they thought was a real human being.
But the image which was made of stone did
not move and so one of the shepherds took
a knife and attacked. But his arm which had
the knife suddenly became paralyzed. The
other attacked also, but ended up wounding
himself. The shepherds were frightened and
so fled the scene and went to report the
incident to the chieftain.
The chieftain went to the scene and saw the
image. With his counselors, he tried to move
the image but could not. He decided then to
ask the two wounded shepherds to move the
image and carry it to his house. When the
two touched the image, their wounds were
at once cured. The chieftain understood that
the image of the woman carrying a boy was
supernatural, but he was not able to identify
it with any of the pagan gods they were
worshipping in Canary Islands.
Few months later, a boy named Antonio
who was captured by the Spaniards and
brought to Spain as a slave, was able to

escaped and returned home. On visiting

the house of the chieftain and seeing the
image, he identified it as Mary the Mother of
God. It was this discovery that enabled the
Spaniards to pacify easily the warlike tribes
of Canary Islands and converted them fast to
Christianity.
Historians later would identify the image
as that of Mary offering Jesus in the temple:
the feast of the presentation of Jesus in the
temple. The image made rounds in Spain
during a plague and people attributed the
saving of many lives through this virgin whom
they welcomed with many candles, that
became known as Virgen de Candelaria.
