Nuestra Señora de Coromoto
Una advocación de Venezuela para el mundo.
Our Lady of Coromoto, Patroness of Venezuela, renew the faith in all the extension of our Nation.
Amen
Invocation written by Brother Nectarius Mary in June 1922, belonging to the first group of religious of the Congregation of the Brothers of the Christian Schools founded by Saint John Baptist La Salle.
Our Lady of Coromoto’s apparition is unique and very important because:
The relic that the Virgin left to the native chief (“Cacique”) Coromoto comes directly from heaven. It is not an engraving or made by human hands.
It is the first apparition of the Virgin to a family.
It is one of the few apparitions whose dedication has the name of the seer and in this case, it is a masculine name: Coromoto.
There are only two cases in the world in which the Virgin leaves a relic: Guadalupe, Mexico in 1531 and Coromoto, Venezuela in 1652.
The relic in Guadalupe is a macro: 1.70 x 1.05 cm
The relic in Coromoto is a micro: 2.43 x 1.94 cm
Our Lady of Coromoto is celebrated with three annual festivities
On February 2, the feast day of the Presentation of the Lord, which is the date of her triumphal entry into the city of Guanare in 1654.
On September 8, the date of her apparition.
On September 11, the date of her coronation.
The call of the Mother of God to all Venezuelans is threefold:
She encourages the institution of marriage: man, woman, and children.
She invites for union and solidarity of all families with the community.
She calls for conversion to Christ within the Catholic Church.

Virgin of Coromoto a Venezuelan Advocation for the World.
The greatest scholar and the one who has written the most detailed history of the apparition and miracles of the Virgin of Coromoto has been Brother Nectario Maria, known as the Apostle of Coromoto, belonging to the congregation of the Christian Brothers, he came as a professor and showed great interest in scientific research. He excelled as an educator, geologist, geographer, cartographer, seismologist, mineralogist, historian.
Documentation.
The whole process of the apparition was documented by Juan Sanchez. In 1738 a reliquary was ordered to be built to keep the Sacred Relic of Our Lady of Coromoto. It was adorned with pearls of various sizes. It was kept there until 1948, when a new one was brought from Madrid, Spain, made of gilded silver.
In 1784 the Hierarchy of the Church in the person of Bishop Mariano Marti made an official chronicle edited by the Venezuelan Academy of History.
Subsequent studies and investigations were carried out by many historians, such as Mons. Pedro Pablo Tenreiro, Bishop Omar Ramos Cordero and above all by Brother Nectario María.
These butterflies appeared for the first time when the Virgin of Coromoto appeared to the Indian Cacique and we have seen them again which makes us immensely happy since it is a great sign of hope.
This type of butterfly was first seen when the Virgin appeared to Cacique Coromoto and his family. They are numbered 8 and 9. The eight signifies the day of her appearance and the nine the month in which she appeared: September.
