Local fishermen were struggling to catch fish in the Paraíba River as they prepared for the visit of a regional governor\, Dom Pedro de Almeida e Portugal\, Count of Assumar. \nThree fishermen\, Domingos Garcia\, João Alves\, and Filipe Pedroso\, prayed to the Virgin Mary for help. Casting their nets\, they first pulled up a small clay statue of a headless figure from the river. When they cast their nets again\, they found the missing head. After retrieving and cleaning the statue\, they continued fishing\, and to their astonishment\, their nets filled with fish. \nThe fishermen took this as a miracle\, and word of the event spread quickly. The little dark-skinned clay statue\, later recognized as Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception\, came to be affectionately called Nossa Senhora Aparecida\, meaning "Our Lady Who Appeared". \nThe statue was first kept in the home of Filipe Pedroso\, where neighbors gathered to pray. Reports of miracles and healings attributed to Our Lady of Aparecida multiplied\, and devotion to her spread across the region. In 1745\, a small chapel was built to house the statue\, and by 1834\, a larger church\, the Old Basilica\, was constructed to accommodate growing numbers of pilgrims. \nIn 1904\, Pope Pius X authorized the canonical coronation of Our Lady of Aparecida\, officially recognizing her as a sacred symbol of devotion. Later\, in 1930\, Pope Pius XI declared her the Patroness of Brazil\, cementing her status as a national spiritual figure. \nThe Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida\, built to replace the older church\, began construction in 1955 and was completed in 1980. That same year\, Pope John Paul II visited Brazil and consecrated the new basilica\, recognizing it as one of the largest Marian shrines in the world. In 1980\, the Brazilian government officially established October 12 as a national holiday dedicated to Our Lady of Aparecida\, blending religious reverence with cultural celebration. \nToday\, millions of pilgrims visit the Basilica of Aparecida each year\, especially on October 12\, walking\, cycling or even traveling long distances on foot to express devotion and gratitude.

Growing opposition emerged within Slovakia\, especially among communists\, democrats\, nationalists\, and the Slovak army. \nOn August 29\, 1944\, the Slovak National Uprising (Slovenské národné povstanie – SNP) was launched from Banská Bystrica. It was organized by the Slovak resistance movement\, supported by both communists and democrats\, along with officers from the Slovak army. \nThe uprising sought to overthrow the fascist Slovak regime and resist German occupation. At its peak\, around 60\,000–80\,000 partisans and soldiers joined the fight\, with additional support from Allied and Soviet forces. \nDespite strong resistance\, the uprising was eventually suppressed by German troops\, and Banská Bystrica was retaken in late October 1944. \nAlthough militarily defeated\, the uprising became a powerful symbol of resistance\, unity\, and the fight for freedom. It demonstrated that many Slovaks opposed fascism and aligned themselves with the anti-Nazi struggle in Europe. \nAfter WWII\, the uprising was honored as a defining moment in Slovak history. In 1945\, memorials were built\, and in 1949 the Slovak National Uprising Memorial in Banská Bystrica was established. \nDuring socialist Czechoslovakia\, the uprising was celebrated but often framed through a communist lens. \nSince Slovakia's independence in 1993\, August 29 has been preserved as National Uprising Day (Deň Slovenského národného povstania)\, recognized as a public holiday.
