Nuestra Señora del Milagro (Our Lady of the Miracle), Lima, Peru
Commemorated on November 27, July 19
The Franciscan friars who accompanied the Conquest to Peru hung an image of the Immaculate Conception over the door of their first church in Lima. On missionary journeys around the region, they would take the image, "La Misionera," with them. They were in Cusco, the Inca capital, on May 23, 1536 when, during the rebellion of Manco Inca against the two-year Spanish regime, natives trapped many Spaniards in a hut and set fire to the straw roof. La Misionera was seen by all to leave her place inside and to appear above the burning building together with Santiago (St. James the Greater). The fire ceased, and all were saved. In honor of this event, the Spanish built the Church of the Triumph, now an adjunct of the Cusco cathedral.
Back in Lima, after the Franciscans surrounded the little chapel with a big monastery complex, the image over the door was gradually forgotten. By the 1600s, it had one regular devotee, a poor woman. One day she heard the Virgin speak: "You alone, daughter, among all the people here, visit me and pray to me. One day I will repay you." After the woman told saintly Brother Juan Gomez, he often remarked, "Lima does not recognize the great good it has in this miraculous image, but soon it will know."
On November 27, 1630, when most of the people of Lima were attending a bullfight in the main plaza, a violent earthquake struck the city. All were terrified, for it seemed certain that they would perish. But those near the Franciscan Church saw the image of Our Lady turn in the direction of the Blessed Sacrament, with her hands held in suppliant gesture. Abruptly, the earthquake stopped.
Several hours later, when the Franciscan community had gathered before the miraculous image to give thanks, the prodigy was renewed. The statue turned again to its former position, smiling graciously.
Now called "Our Lady of the Miracle," the statue was given a magnificent new church. In 1835, the church burned down. Only the statue remained intact. On June 19, 1953, the papal nuncio crowned the miraculous statue. The feast of Our Lady of the Miracle is on November 27, anniversary of the 1630 earthquake.

History
Our Lady of the Miracle is the patroness of the Catholic Daughters of America chapter in San Francisco, California. The image shown here is temporarily at the National Shrine of Saint Francis of Assisi in San Francisco through the kindness of the Sisters of Perpetual Adoration. The answer below is from the website of the shrine to St. Francis (www.shrinesf.org).
Our Lady of the Miracle, one of the first images of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary to be brought to the Americas, came to Peru with the Franciscan Friars who accompanied the Conquest. At that time the image was known by the title "La Misionera." Taken to Lima by the Franciscans, it was placed in the facade of the first Franciscan Church there. Frequently it would be carried on missionary journeys into the various regions of Peru.
Thus, the image was carried to Cuzco, center of Incan cult, where "La Misionera" performed her first visible miracle. The Spaniards, besieged in a straw-roofed native hut, were in grave peril of their lives when the Indians set fire to the roof. Our Lady's image was seen by all to leave her place within the hut and to appear above the burning building. The fire ceased immediately, and all were saved. In honor of this miraculous event, a church, called Del Triunfo, was built there.
On returning to Lima, the religious placed the image in its former niche, where for many years it remained neglected and seemingly forgotten. Only a poor woman visited the image and prayed before it. To reward her devotion, the Blessed Virgin one day spoke to her thus: "You alone, daughter, among all the people here, visit me and pray to me. One day I will repay you."
The saintly religious, Fray Juan Gomez, to whom the woman had related this locution, frequently used to say, "Lima does not recognize the great good it has in this miraculous image, but soon it will know."
Thus time passed. In 1630, on November 27, when most of the people of Lima were attending a bullfight in the main plaza, a violent earthquake struck the city. All were terrified, for it seemed certain that they would perish. But those near the Franciscan Church saw the image of Our Lady turn in the direction of the Blessed Sacrament, with her hands held in suppliant gesture. Abruptly, the earthquake stopped.
Several hours later, when the Franciscan community had gathered before the miraculous image to render due thanksgiving, the prodigy was renewed. Our Blessed Lady turned again to her former position, smiling graciously upon the religious.
A magnificent temple of this blessed image was constructed near the site of this miracle, and the image itself was given the new title of "Our Lady of the Miracle," under which advocation it has been venerated ever since.
In 1835, fire completely destroyed the beautiful Church, together with all its treasures. Only the blessed image of "Our Lady of the Miracle" remained intact and unharmed by the conflagration.
In Lima, on July 19, 1953, the solemn Pontifical Coronation took place, proclaiming the devotion to other peoples and countries.
