Around the year 1600, two men and a boy were sailing across the Bay of Nipe in Cuba when a storm arose. When they began to pray to Our Lady for help, the storm ceased, and they saw floating in the water a statue of Mary with the inscription I am the Virgin of Charity. Nuestra Senora de la Caridad, enshrined in the town of El Cobre, is the beloved patroness of Cuba.Feast Day: September 8Patronage: Cuba
