Our Lady of Charity
Our Lady of Charity is a Marian title venerated in the Catholic Church, especially in Cuba, Spain, and parts of Latin America. She is known for her miraculous protection of the faithful and is considered the patroness of Cuba. According to tradition, her image was found floating in the Bay of Nipe by three salt miners in the early 17th century. Devotion to Our Lady of Charity is associated with love, mercy, and the virtue of charity.
