Our Sorrowful Mother of the College

Quito, Ecuador (1906) 

 

On the night of April 20, 1906, an oleograph of the  Virgin of Sorrows hanging  in the refectory of the Jesuit  College of St. Gabriel began to open and shut its eyes  in front of 35 boarding students and two monks.

The image was moved to the school chapel, where the prodigy recurred six times.

After a canonical  investigation, Church authorities declared that it was possible to believe.

The image was canonically crowned on April 22, 1956,  during the 50th anniversary celebration.
