According to the Venerable and Age Old Tradition, The
Virgen Mary, awaiting in Jerusalem just before her Glorious
Ascension to The Heavens, came to Zaragoza to console
and cheer up The Apostle Santiago. Santiago, with The
First Converted Faithfuls, was preaching on the banks
of the Ebro .This was the night of the 2 of January of
the 40th Year of The Cristian Era.
There are Three
Curious Detailes that Characterize this Tradition:
- It was a coming in Person of The Virgen not a Vision.
- Another characteristic
of This Tradition is The Column or Pilar that The Virgen
Mary brought for The First Mariano Temple to be built
upon. This was The First in All Cristianity.
- The third
aspect is The Union between The Pilar Tradition and
The Jacobean Tradition. For this reason Zaragoza and
Compostela, The Pilar and Santiago constitute a Fundamental
Axis around which The Spirituality of The Spanish Homeland
has moved.
