This Spanish title of Mary translates to Our Lady of Charity of el Cobre (a town in Cuba). The story goes that around 1612, two native brothers and an African slave set off in a tiny boat to get to a salt mine. Suddenly a terrible storm rose up from the sea and the little boat was battered to and fro by the waves. The three prayed for Our Lady's help. Just as suddenly as it rose, the skies cleared and the storm was gone. It was then that they saw a small object floating on the water. As they rowed closer, they could see it was a statue.
