Our Lord of the Miracles of Buga

Our Lord of the Miracles of Buga, also known as the Lord of the Miracles, is a statue of Jesus Christ in the form of a crucifix, said to have come into existence spontaneously and without the work of human hands. This type of miraculous icon is known as acheiropoieta. The Lord of Miracles appeared in the 16th century in what is now Buga, Colombia. It is also the name of the shrine in which the statue is located. This shrine falls under the Redemptorist order and is located in Buga, Valle del Cauca, in the southwest of Colombia. This basilica is the most famous Catholic non-Marian sanctuary in the Americas. The Redemptorist monastic community that curates Our Lord of the Miracles also promotes the veneration of a reproduction of the Cretan icon of our Lady of Perpetual help.

Church Landmark

Our Lady of Guadalupe

Our Lady of Guadalupe, also known as the Virgin of Guadalupe and as La Virgen Morena, is a Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary associated with four Marian apparitions to Juan Diego and one to his uncle, Juan Bernardino reported in December 1531, when the Mexican territories were part of the Spanish Empire. A venerated image on a cloak associated with the apparition is enshrined in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. Pope Leo XIII granted a decree of canonical coronation for the image on 8 February 1887. The rite of coronation was executed by the former Archbishop of Mexico, Próspero Alarcón y Sánchez de la Barquera on 12 October 1895. Pope Paul VI raised the shrine to the status of Minor Basilica via his Pontifical decree titled Sacra illa Ædes on 6 October 1976. It is the most-visited Catholic shrine in the world, and the world's third most-visited sacred site.

La station

Son logo représente un joueur de baseball, et son nom se réfère au club Deportivo 18 de Marzo proche de la gare. Avant la construction de la ligne 6 et pendant plusieurs années ensuite, cette station se nommait Basílica, du fait de sa proximité de la Basilique de Guadalupe, et en tirait son icône ; la suivante sur la station 6, La Villa, avait pour image la silhouette de la Vierge de Guadalupe. Pour éviter la confusion des usagers, à partir du 24 septembre 1996, les deux saisons furent rebaptisées : la station Basílica de la ligne 3 en Deportivo 18 de marzo, et la station La Villa de la ligne 6, en La Villa-Basílica.
