Our Lady of the Pillar

Our Lady of the Pillar is the national feast day in Spain on October 12th. Schools and universities are closed; people are off work; etc. The apparition is different from other Marian apparitions in that it happened during Mary's lifetime as she visited St. James in Zaragoza, Spain. I hear the location is an easy bus ride from Pamplona, so I hope to check it out soon.

We began the celebration with a vigil Mass and procession on October 11th with the auxiliary bishop at St. Nicholas church, which was built 1,000 years ago. Here are some shots:
