Led by Pelayo (Pelagius)\, a Visigoth noble\, Asturian forces defeated a Muslim army in the mountains near Covadonga. \nThough small in scale\, the victory is seen as the beginning of the Reconquista\, the centuries-long Christian effort to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula. As legend tells\, the Virgin of Covadonga (La Santina) interceded spiritually in the battle\, and she later became the patron saint of Asturias. \nThe Catholic Church celebrates September 8 as the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. \nIn Asturias\, this date became closely associated with the Virgin of Covadonga\, giving it both a religious and regional identity. \nAfter Francisco Franco's dictatorship (1939–1975)\, which suppressed regional identities\, Spain's 1978 Constitution granted autonomy to its historic regions. Asturias gained autonomy with the Statute of Autonomy of 1981\, officially recognizing it as an autonomous community. \nIn this context\, September 8 was declared Asturias Day\, uniting the religious devotion to La Santina with the region's modern political and cultural identity.
