History:
The site of the miracle:
Saa Antonio Farias was a farmer based in Santiago del Estero who wanted to stay put in a chapel to the Virgin. This man ordered from Brazil, two images representing the Immaculate Conception of Mary. In May 1630, the image of the Virgin came to Argentina from San Pablo. According to the version of the believers, in their coming, the caravan with the handle, got stuck on the banks of the Luján River 67 km from Buenos Aires, on a farm. By the next day the road they would continue the trip, but the cart carrying the image is not moved, placed more cattle, but as the myth it was useless, the two images were at the bottom of the cart in two small drawers. They removed an image and the cart went normally. They believed that something miraculous was happening. Seeing that the Virgin did not want to leave it decided to take the small box to the nearest house, the family of Don Rosendo de Oramas, located in the present town of Zelaya of the Partido Del Pilar, almost 30km of the existing site Lady. The image was placed there instead of honor.
Aware of the miracle even in Buenos Aires, many neighbors came to venerate the image, with increasing competition, Don Rosendo built a hermitage where he stayed from 1630 to 1674. In fact, today there on that site, known as The Place of the Miracle, a convent and a chapel of adobe and earthen floor, which can be visited, reminiscent to that shrine to be erected as the first sanctuary. The same is located on Calle Almirante Brown, Zelaya, Buenos Aires.
It was called 'The Virgin Estanciera' and 'Mistress Brown'. Manuel, a little slave that came with the caravan and saw what happened, seeing the intense love your employer showing the Virgin left him under the orders of the Immaculate. He spent the exclusive care of the image, which he did until his death. He was in charge of order in the chapel and the dresses of the Virgin, leading the prayers of the pilgrims. Upon the death of Don Rosendo, his stay was abandoned, but Manuel continued, with holy constancy, the service was imposed.
Very concerned with the loneliness of the Virgin in these parts, Ana de Matos, widow of the Spanish captain Marcos de Sequeira, owner of a ranch located on the right bank of the River Luján and very well defended, not seeing any interest from the authorities civil and ecclesiastical, asked the manager of the late Don Rosendo stay the transfer of the image of the Virgin of Luján. She said the care and the construction of a chapel dignified and comfortable, making the stay of pilgrims. Juan Oramas, the agent accepted the offer and Dona Ana de Matos paid for the transfer of the image.
Happy to have achieved its purpose, installed it in his oratory, but the next morning, when he went there to pray, he discovered with astonishment and anguish that the Virgin was not at his altar. When search is found in the site of the miracle. It was thought at first it was the same Manuel - who had not initially allowed to accompany the Virgin, who was the Mistress Morena to their former abode, and until it reached the floor estaquear not be a thief for the image, however the Immaculate kept coming back to your first home.
This happened again several times until, aware of this new miracle the Bishop of Buenos Aires, Fray Cristobal de Mancha and Velazco, and the governor of Rio de la Plata, Jose Martinez de Salazar, organized the transfer of the image, accompanied Dona Ana and Manuel. "
