Venezuela - Our Lady of Coromoto Day
On September 11, Venezuelans celebrate Our Lady of Coromoto Day. It is dedicated to the patroness of Venezuela. It is not a public holiday, but banks are typically closed on this day.
Our Lady of Coromoto (Nuestra Señora de Coromoto), also known as the Virgin of Coromoto (Virgen de Coromoto), is a celebrated Catholic image of an alleged apparition of the Virgin Mary. Its history dates back to 1591, when Spanish colonizers founded the city of Guanare and began to evangelize. The Indian tribe who inhabited the region resisted Christianity and fled to the North.
