Our Lady of Meritxell is an Andorran Roman Catholic statue depicting an apparition of the Virgin Mary. Our Lady of Meritxell is the patron saint of Andorra. The original statue dated from the late 12th century. However, the chapel in which it was housed burned down on September 8 1972, and the statue was destroyed. A replica can be found in the new Meritxell Basilica, designed in 1976 by Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura.
The feast day of Our Lady of Meritxell is September 8 and the Andorran National Day. The image is also mentioned in the anthem of Andorra. "Meritxell" is a relatively frequent female name among Andorran women and other Catalan-speaking women.
