Nuestra Señora de Atocha blesses Malta from Madrid (Aleteia EN)

An infant saved from rubble who grew up to love Our Lady is the benefactress of this fascinating church.

Our Lady of Atocha Sanctuary was also affiliated (aggregated) to the Royal Basilica of Atocha in Madrid, from where the miraculous image was brought in 1603, and raised to the dignity of Aggregazione Spirituale (spiritually aggregated to the Basilica). Cauchi submitted the application on the advice of the rector of the church. This is a procession with a statue of Baby Jesus in a manger carried shoulder high by students of the SDC. To this day the church is kept open all day every 15th of the month, and one can still visit and recite these prayers, receive confession, and participate in Eucharistic Adoration. In time this church radiated a certain devotion both among the people of Hamrun, as well as among other devotees who came to visit the church from outside this town, so much so that it was bestowed with indulgences by Popes and Bishops, among them Pope Sixtus V, Pope Clement XIII and Pope Benedict XIII; Bishop of Malta Mgr. This article about Our Lady is published today on this Marian day, commemorating the first apparition of the Immaculate Conception in Lourdes, but today also happens to be the vigil of Saint George’s birthday! [Our Lady of the Assumption, the patroness of Malta](/2020/11/21/how-the-assumption-saved-malta-during-wwii/). The couple fervently spread the devotion to Our Lady of Atocha. As a great devotee of the Blessed Virgin, it was Isabel who wished that the church be dedicated to Our Lady. However, the image of Our Lady of Atocha is much older. The principal patroness is Our Lady of Almudena. Our Lady of Atocha, whose parish is in Madrid, is the “mother” of the very popular Niño de Atocha, who according to some legends, escaped from his mother.
