Feast Day: September 12
The feast first occurred in 1513 in the diocese of Cuenca, Spain. It
was then suppressed by Pius V, revived by Sixtus V, and finally became a
universal feast in 1683 as thanks for the victory over the Turks who attacked
Vienna and Christianity. The feast reminds us of “the significance of Mary, she
that is the bearer of light, light that illuminated her soul and that has
become the light for many other souls.”
