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.

At that time\, Spain was pressuring Britain to hand over Gibraltar\, claiming sovereignty based on geographic proximity and historical treaties. \nThe United Nations had urged both countries to negotiate Gibraltar's future\, but the people of Gibraltar firmly believed in their right to self-determination. \nIn response\, the British Government organized a referendum to ask the people directly: Do you wish to pass under Spanish sovereignty? Or do you wish to remain under British sovereignty\, with self-governing institutions? \nThe result was overwhelming\, 12\,138 voted to remain British\, while only 44 voted for Spanish rule. This historic vote demonstrated Gibraltar's unwavering loyalty to the United Kingdom and its determination to govern its own affairs. \nDespite the importance of the 1967 referendum\, Gibraltar did not begin celebrating it as a public holiday until much later. In 1992\, local activist Joseph Bossano\, then Chief Minister\, and Peter Montegriffo\, leader of the GSD\, jointly proposed that September 10 be recognized annually as Gibraltar National Day. \nThe first official National Day celebration took place in 1992\, marking the 25th anniversary of the referendum. \nSince its inception\, Gibraltar National Day has become the most important public celebration of the year. The entire territory is decorated in red and white\, the national colors. \nToday\, Gibraltar National Day (September 10) is a public holiday and a symbol of unity and pride. The day concludes with fireworks over the Rock\, echoing the joy and spirit of the people who proudly call Gibraltar home.
