Our Lady of Europe ((スペイン語:Nuestra Señora de Europa ''or'' Virgen de Europa)) is a title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary as patroness of Gibraltar. The entire European continent was consecrated under the protection of Our Lady of Europe in the early 14th century from the Shrine in Gibraltar where devotion still continues to this day, over 700 years on. Together with St. Bernard, Our Lady is a Catholic patron saint of Gibraltar. ==Background== The peninsula now known as Gibraltar was at one time called Calpe. Gibraltar takes its name from the phrase ''Gibel Tarik'', which means "the Mountain of Tarik", and commemorates the capture of the peninsula by Tarik Ibn Zayid in 710. Moslem troops built a fortress and a mosque at Europa Point at the southernmost part of Gibraltar, located just across from the North African coast.〔("A Short History of the Shrine", Diocese of Gibraltar )〕
