Our Lady of Charity of the Copper

In 1612, three fishermen - two Indians and one nigger - went fishing to Nipe Bay. In the middle of a storm, they saw a picture of the Virgin floating on a wooden board. They took her to the ground and put her in a hermitage.

La imagen era pequeña, de madera de cedro, con el Niño Jesús en brazos y un azucena en la mano. Desde entonces, todos los cubanos la llaman «La Cachita» y la veneran como su madre.

Fidel Castro dijo una vez que «La Cachita es la cubana por excelencia». Los exiliados en Miami construyeron una réplica de la basílica en el Barrio Ocho.

The Virgin of Copper is the mother who found Cuba in the middle of the sea.
