The image of Our Lady of the Mountain originated in Colombia and the region of the Cauca Valley in particular, where the city of Guadalajara de Buga is located. This Acheiropoita is a well known figure that has been officially recognized by the Roman Catholic Church.[1] The image has been called with different names since then by the Hispanic people, initially known as Our Lady of the Rosary, and even also as Our lady of the Favor (Nuestra Senora de la Merced). This Virgin has strong links to the Native Andean people and with well known Spanish Marian images.[2] At present it is venerated with the name of Our lady of the Remedies, a name given by the Mercedarian friars after a Virgin of the Cantabric region in Spain. It is linked to the advocation of Our Lady of the Remedies (Nuestra Señora de los Remedios).[3]
