Our Lady of La Leche honors the infant Jesus nursing at Mary's breast. It is a site of Marian devotion and prayer for help in conceiving a child and safe childbirth
The Virgin Mother of the Child Jesus, caring for his tender body and nourishing him during the long months of his human weakness, has inspired mothers and future mothers since the miracle of Bethlehem. The catacombs of Rome from the second century show the Virgin Blessed Virgin feeding the Child Jesus. The great European art museums contain paintings of Our Lady of La Leche and Buen Parto, eloquent proof of the devotion of women of all centuries to the Nursing Mother of the Child Jesus.
About 200 meters to the south, there is a small chapel with a great meaning: The Milk Grotto. According to a sixth century tradition Our Lady hid in this place with the Child Jesus, just before the flight to Egypt. It is said that while she was nursing little Jesus, a drop of milk fell on the stone, turning it completely white.

For years the sanctuary has been frequented by many women, both Christian and Muslim, who come to the Virgin Mary asking for an abundance of milk to feed her children. Likewise, married couples who have not been able to have children

Do you know the story of Our Lady of Milk and good birth?

On August 28, 1565, sailors of the great Admiral of Philip II's Spanish fleet, Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles, sighted land. August 28th was the feast day of St. Augustine and they decided that the community they intended to establish should be named after the great Bishop of Hippo. When they landed, on September 8, 1565, the day of the nativity of Our Lady, Father Mendoza Grajales, a missionary priest from Spain, offered the first parish Mass in the future United States. Other masses had been offered in America before, because other Catholic Spanish explorers carried Catholic chaplains with them, and these must have offered Mass whenever the expedition landed. There is no site, however, that marks their celebration of Mass because no communities sprang up as a result of their labors. Some years later, Catholic priests who came with the Spanish Admiral's ship established the first and oldest mission of the Catholic Church in the United States. They named it the mission of Nombre de Dios, the mission of the Holy Name of God. From this mission, priests were sent during the following two hundred years along the famous Santa Fe trail across northern Florida up through Georgia, the Carolinas, Alabama, Mississippi and finally as far as the Mississippi River. This important work of the mission of Nombre de Dios was begun forty-two years before the first English settlement, at Jamestown in Virginia; fifty-five years before the pilgrims set foot on Plymouth Rock; and about two hundred years before the founding of the California missions.
