Our Lady of Quito

Our Lady of Quito" as she is known in the English speaking world is known in Ecuador as "La Dolorosa," which means "The Sorrowful Lady." She was officially crowned by order of Pope Pius XII in 1956, the fiftieth anniversary of the miracle of her picture opening and closing its eyes in front of forty children who attended a Jesuit boarding school which was then being targeted for persecution by the Masons who were throttling this Catholic country. Soon after, the miracle was also witnessed by numerous adults, including atheists who thereupon converted, when the picture was transferred to a nearby church.
