About the Virgin of El Pilar

According to tradition, the Virgin appeared to the apostle James in Zaragoza, by the Ebro, on a stone column: the Pillar. She is Spain's first Marian devotion, patroness of Hispanidad, and her feast day is celebrated on October 12 with the traditional Offering of Flowers. Discover her history and curiosities.

As a gift

Giving a medal is an act of love: it is worn close to the heart, kept for a lifetime, and often passed down. This piece is ideal for a Pilar or a Pili on October 12, a baptism, a First Communion, or for anyone who carries Aragon in their heart. Looking for the medal of her name? See it in medals by name.

And if it's for you: we always wear a medal. Protected and displayed at the same time.
