BEFORE SUNSET IN ZARAGOZA, SPAIN, 2022

            Walking along Zaragoza's "Puente de Hierro" (Iron Bridge) I had the opportunity to capture this scene in which you can see the towers of the Basilica of Our Lady of El Pilar, part of the Roman bridge, also called "Puente de Piedra" (Stone Bridge) and the reflection of our solar star in the intense waters of the Ebro river.

The Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar (Spanish: Catedral-Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar) is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Zaragoza, Aragon (Spain). The Basilica venerates Blessed Virgin Mary, under her title Our Lady of the Pillar praised as "Mother of the Hispanic Peoples" by Pope John Paul II. It is reputed to be the first church dedicated to Mary in history.

Local traditions take the history of this basilica to the dawn of Christianity in Spain attributing to an apparition to Saint James the Great, the apostle who is believed by tradition to have brought Christianity to the country. This is the only reported apparition of Mary to have occurred before her believed Assumption.

TRADITION: Apparition of the Virgin of Pilar: According to ancient local tradition, soon after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, Saint James was preaching the Gospel in Spain, but was disheartened because of the failure of his mission.

Tradition holds that on 2 January 40 AD, while he was deep in prayer by the banks of the Ebro, the Mother of God appeared to him and gave a column of jasper and instructed him to build a church in her honor: "This place is to be my house, and this image and column shall be the title and altar of the temple that you shall build.

ANTES DE LA PUESTA DE SOL EN ZARAGOZA, ESPAÑA, 2022

Paseando a lo largo del zaragozano "Puente de Hierro" (Iron Bridge) tuve oportunidad de capturar esta escena en la que se ven las torres de la Basílica de Nuestra Señora de El Pilar, algo del puente romano, también llamado "Puente de Piedra" (Stone Bridge) y el reflejo de nuestro astro solar en las intensas aguas del río Ebro.

La Catedral-Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar es un templo católico romano de la ciudad de Zaragoza, Aragón (España). La Basílica venera a la Santísima Virgen María, bajo su advocación de Nuestra Señora del Pilar alabada como "Madre de los Pueblos Hispanos" por el Papa Juan Pablo II. Tiene fama de ser la primera iglesia dedicada a María en la historia.

Las tradiciones locales sitúan la historia de esta basílica en los albores del cristianismo en España, atribuyéndole una aparición a Santiago el Mayor, el apóstol que, según la tradición, introdujo el cristianismo en el país. Esta es la única aparición de María de la que se tiene noticia antes de su supuesta Asunción.

TRADICION: Aparición de la Virgen del Pilar: Según la antigua tradición local, poco después de la crucifixión y resurrección de Jesús, Santiago estaba predicando el Evangelio en España, pero estaba desanimado por el fracaso de su misión.

La tradición sostiene que el 2 de enero del año 40 d.C., mientras estaba sumido en la oración a orillas del Ebro, la Madre de Dios se le apareció y le entregó una columna de jaspe y le ordenó que construyera una iglesia en su honor: "Este lugar será mi casa, y esta imagen y columna serán el título y el altar del templo que construirás".
