Our Lady of the Hawthorn
Santa Gadea del Cid, Spain (1399)
In Santa Gadea del Cid in the province of Burgos, Spain, where on March 25, 1399, two shepherd boys, Pedro and Juan, found an oak tree with a beehive.
They returned the next evening, Wednesday of Holy Week, to gather wax \and honey and saw a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
According to testimony on parchment and signed by a notary in Santa Gadea, the boys saw a group of people around a huge thorn bush. On top of the hawthorn was a lady brighter than the sun, so brilliant that they could not look at Her without being blinded.
