La Virgen de Suyapa
​
​También llamada Nuestra Señora de Suyapa, es la Patrona de Honduras y su historia se remonta al siglo XVIII. La historia de Nuestra Señora de Suyapa comenzó un sábado de febrero de 1747. Se cuenta que un campesino local, Alejandro Colindres, regresaba al pueblo de Suyapa después de un largo día de recolección de maíz. Al caer la noche, decidió pasar la noche cerca de un barranco a medio camino de Suyapa. Cuando se tumbó en el suelo, sintió un objeto duro, tal vez una piedra, debajo de él y lo arrojó lejos. Sin embargo, al volver a acostarse, descubrió que el objeto había regresado. Colocó el objeto en su bolso y descubrió, por la mañana, que el objeto que le había regresado no era una piedra, sino una pequeña imagen tallada de Nuestra Señora.


El primer santuario de la Virgen de Suyapa fue bendecido en 1780. En 1796 ocurrió el primer milagro notable atestiguado. La Virgen de Suyapa fue declarada Patrona de Honduras por el Papa Pío XI en 1925, y su festividad se fijó el 3 de febrero. El actual santuario de Nuestra Señora de Suyapa está ubicado en una zona humilde de la ciudad y cuenta con una gran cantidad de espacio para dar cabida a la multitud de peregrinos que visitan el santuario a lo largo del año. Muchos miles de personas de toda Centroamérica peregrinan para visitar la estatua.
La comunidad de Honduras en la parroquia María, Madre de Dios invita a todos a celebrar a la Virgen de Suyapa el domingo 4 de febrero en la Misa de las 12:30 PM en la iglesia de Santa Ita (5500 N. Broadway).

​¡La misa será seguida por una sabrosa recepción en Jubilee Hall!

​The Virgin of Suyapa

​​Also called Our Lady of Suyapa, is the Patroness of Honduras and her story dates back to the 1700s. The story of our Lady of Suyapa began on a Saturday in February of 1747. It is told that a local peasant, Alejandro Colindres, was on his way back to the village of Suyapa after a long day of gathering corn. As night fell, he decided to spend the night near a ravine about halfway to Suyapa. When he laid down on the ground, he felt a hard object, perhaps a stone, under him and tossed it far away.  Upon lying down again, however, he found that the object had returned.  He placed the object into his bag and discovered, in the morning, that the object that had returned to him was not a stone, but rather a small carved image of Our Lady.

The first shrine of the Virgin of Suyapa was blessed in 1780. In 1796, the first notable attested miracle occurred.  The Virgin of Suyapa was declared the Patroness of Honduras by Pope Pius XI in 1925, and her feast day was set as February 3. The current sanctuary of Our Lady of Suyapa is located in a humble part of the city and has a large amount of space to allow for the multitude of pilgrims who visit the shrine throughout the year. Many thousands of people from all over Central America make pilgrimages to visit the statue.
The Honduras community at Mary, Mother of God parish invites everyone to celebrate la Virgen de Suyapa on Sunday, February 4 at the 12:30 PM Spanish Mass at Saint Ita church (5500 N. Broadway).

​Mass will be followed by a tasty reception in Jubilee Hall!
