Cartago is a Costa Rican city southeast of San José. It’s known for La Negrita, the Black Madonna shrine at Our Lady of the Angels Basilica. Founded in 1563 by Juan Vasquez de Coronado, it was the first successful establishment in Costa Rica. Many pilgrims come to Cartago annually, to visit the nation’s principal church, the enormous Basílica de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, on the feast day of the Virgin of the Angels (August 2). The church has a statue of a Black Madonna known as La Negrita, who supposedly had great healing powers. The sick come to her statue in hope of a miracle from La Negrita.
