I was able to get "Basilica de Nuestra Senora de los Angeles" in Cartago, Costa Rica. Visit http://www.google.com/search?hl=<br/>en&q=Basilica+de+Nuestra+Senora+de+los+Angeles<br/>+Costa+Rica&btnG=Google+Search&aq<br/>=f&oq=<br/>for more info on "Our Lady of the Angels." A nice resolution for such a small photograph. From WIKI, Many pilgrims come to Cartago annually, to visit the national's principal church, the enormous Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Los Ángeles, on the feast day of the Virgin of the Angels (August 2). The church has a statue of the Black Madonna known as La Negrita, who supposedly had great healing powers. The sick come to her statue in hope of a miracle from La Negrita.<br/><br/>According to folklore in Costa Rica, the statue was found by an indigenous girl in 1635. She brought it home several times, but it mysteriously reappeared at its original site. The rock where she found it is now kept in a backroom in the basilica and is revered as a sacred relic and object of inspiration. The rock is supposed to be in the same location it was when La Negrita was found, but it has been moved as the basilica was rebuilt (see below). It is common for pilgrims to touch the rock in reverence. Thanks! I visited The WHITNEY/NYC on Thursday (2/5) to pick up my latest ART-O-MAT ART.
