Madre Santisima de la Luz

The story of the image of the Mary as the Mother of Light begins in 18th century Palermo, when a nun had a vision of Mary saving a man from the mouth of a demon.

The Jesuits made a painting of the nun’s vision which later founds its way from Sicily to the city of Leon in Mexico. There the Jesuits placed it in their church for public veneration. The image was soon considered miraculous and copies were sent all over the Americas.

The image shows Mary pulling a young man away from a demon. She also carries her Son, who is being offered a plate of burning hearts symbolising the souls of the faithful.
