Original vintage poster celebrating the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Coronation of Our Lady of the Pillar .

Did you know…?

Our Lady of the Pillar is the name given to the Blessed Virgin Mary in the context of the traditional belief that Mary, while living in Jerusalem, supernaturally appeared to the Apostle James the Greater in AD 40 while he was preaching in what is now Spain. Those who adhere to this belief consider this appearance to be the only recorded instance of Mary exhibiting the mystical phenomenon of bilocation. Among Catholics, it is also considered the first Marian apparition, and unique because it happened while Mary was still living on Earth.

From a personal point of view, the background of this poster reminds me the blue and white tiles used to cover up large, blank walls inside and outside buildings in Portugal in the Gothic period (see last picture to compare).
