Our Lady of Begoña
The cult of Our Lady of Begoña (''Nuestra Señora de Begoña, la Madre de Dios de Begoña'') celebrates an apparition of the Virgin Mary at the site of the Basilica of Begoña, in Bilbao, Spain. Affectionately called "Amatxu" (meaning "little mother" in Basque), she is said to have appeared to local people in the early 16th century. The feast day of Our Lady of Begona is 8 October.
==History==
The title was established in Bilboa, at Biscay, Spain where, according to local legend, an 8th-century statue of Our Lady was found the hollow of an oak tree on Mount Artagan.〔 In 1672, the Lord of Vizcaya published and engraving of the Virgin along with his coat of arms.
The Basque Country has a long tradition of fishing and seafaring. Basque ship captains travelled regularly to the ports of France, England, the Netherlands and Ireland. Since the 15th century many boats out of Bilboa have carried the name, ''Virgin of Begoña'' or simply ''Begoña''. In 1779 Captain Jaun Bautista de Ajeo and two other Bilboa merchants owned a ship, with a capacity of fifty tons, known as ''Nuestra Senora de Begoña''.〔( Lamikiz, Xabier. ''Trade and Trust in the Eighteenth-century Atlantic World: Spanish Merchants and Their Overseas Networks'', Chap. 2, "Basque Ship Captains and Seamen", Boydell & Brewer, 2010, ISBN 9780861933068 )〕 Votives left by sailors indicate that Our Lady of Begoña is believed to have helped seamen in distress, who then offered thanks for their safe deliverance.〔(Santoro, Nicholas J., ''Mary In Our Life: Atlas of the Names and Titles of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and Their Place In Marian Devotion'', p. 305, iUniverse, 2011, ISBN 9781462040223 )〕
Tradition tells of an apparition to the people of Bilboa at the site of the present Basilica. Work began on the basilica in 1511. Behind the high altar is what is referred to as "the Virgin's chamber". She is credited with helping to stem the cholera epidemic of 1855.
