Our Lady of Lujan

Our Lady of Lujan

Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay recognized Our Lady of Lujan as their protectress.

The story starts in 1630 with a tiny, terracotta statue which was transported on an oxcart to Santiago del Estero. When the oxcart got stuck in mud, nothing could make it budge until the statue was removed. It was taken as a sign that the 18 inches high statue of the Virgin wanted to stay there. In time a small shrine grew into one of Argentina's major places of pilgrimage. The Capital of Faith was born and the Virgin became not only the patron saint of Argentina but also of Uruguay and Paraguay.

Luján is a city in the Buenos Aires province, located 68 kilometres north west of the city of Buenos Aires. Luján is best known for its large neo-gothic Basilica built in honor of the Virgin of Lujan, the patron saint of Argentina.

Every year, more than six million people make pilgrimages to the Basilica, many walking there from Buenos Aires. The city is known as Capital of Faith. It is popular day-trip for non-believers too, with abundant grill restaurants and souvenir shops with kitsch religious memorabilia.

Info


Meditation is one of the Five Principles of Yoga.

It is the practice that searches the permanent observation of the mind. Through meditation you get to focus your mind until you become one with the object of your attention and your ´self´awakes.

A greater sense of purpose and strength of will are usually associated with this practice. 

Meditation also helps developing a clearer state of mind, improves concentration and gets to reach inner peace of mind.
