About Our Lady of the Pillar

According to tradition, the Virgin appeared to the Apostle James in Zaragoza, by the Ebro River, atop a stone pillar: El Pilar. 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.

How do I care for it?
Put it on after perfume, cream, and makeup, and take it off to shower, swim, exercise, or sleep: water, sweat, and chemicals are what wear down the gold plating the most. Store it separately, in its pouch or in a jewelry box, and clean it only with a soft, dry cloth. Here are 6 tips to make the shine last longer.

How does it differ from a cheap imported medal?
It is designed by us, handmade in Spain, and we clearly state what it is made of. It has nothing to do with factory-made medals that are bought for a few euros and resold as "original design." We tell you about it in Khartes Medals vs. Cheap Imported Medals.
