Our Lady of Mercy

Today, Catalans celebrate Our Lady of Mercy and the founding of her Order. On the night of August 1, 1218, the Virgin accompanied by angels and saints appeared dressed in white to Pierre Nolasque to urge him to found a religious order dedicated to the redemption of Christian captives from the hands of Muslims. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #September 24 #nostrasenyoradelamercé #barcelona
