9 July - Virgin of Chiquinquirá Day in Colombia
The feast of Our Lady of the Rosary of Chiquinquirá, also known as the Virgin of Chiquinquirá, proclaimed Patroness of Colombia by Pope Pius VII in 1829, is celebrated every July 9. On that occasion, the Pope granted this Marian invocation its own liturgical feast. Later, in 1919, Our Lady of Chiquinquirá would be canonically crowned by decree of Pope St. Pius X.
The Sanctuary of the Patroness of Colombia, declared a Basilica in 1927 by Pope Pius XI, is visited every year by thousands of faithful, especially during the days close to the main feast. In the enclosure is the original canvas with the image of Our Lady, today devoutly guarded by the Dominican friars.
