Fishermen Domingos Garcia, João Alves, and Filipe Pedroso tried to fish. On their first attempt, they caught no fish. On their second, they found the image of Our Lady of the Conception without its head. After a few more attempts with the net, they found the missing part of the image. They washed the image and wrapped it in cloth. After that, the number of fish that came into the net was so large that they had to call it quits.
Over the years, Our Lady performed numerous miracles. In 1930, Pope Pius XI declared Our Lady of Aparecida the Patroness of the Brazilian Nation.
