Paranaguá, Brazil (17th cent.)
Commemorated on November 15
In the 1600s, an African or native fisherman named Pai Berê found in his net a statue which settlers identified as Our Lady of the Dew, the beloved Virgin of Andalucia in southern Spain. Over the years many miracles and healings were attributed to the intercession of Our Lady of the Dew in this area along the south coast of Brazil. People called on her successfully for help during storms at sea, the plague of 1901, and the flu of 1918.
