A Brief History

Aparecida’s story began in the early 18th century, when local fishermen discovered a statue of Our Lady of Aparecida in the Paraíba River. This miraculous event sparked widespread devotion, eventually leading to the construction of the city’s grand basilica — today, one of the most important religious sites in Brazil and a symbol of hope for millions of pilgrims.
