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.

Serving as Bishop of Milan from 374 to 397 AD\, he shaped the relationship between Church and State\, inspired St. Augustine\, and helped define Western Christian theology. His legacy endures through the Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio in Milan\, a Romanesque masterpiece he founded\, and the Ambrosian Rite\, a unique liturgical tradition still practiced in parts of Italy today. \nWhen is St. Ambrose?\nSt. Ambrose in Italy is celebrated on December 7 each year. \nThe following is the list of St. Ambrose from 2020 to 2049. \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n HolidayDateWeekday\n\n\n\n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2020Monday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2021Tuesday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2022Wednesday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2023Thursday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2024Saturday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2025Sunday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2026Monday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2027Tuesday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2028Thursday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2029Friday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2030Saturday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2031Sunday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2032Tuesday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2033Wednesday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2034Thursday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2035Friday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2036Sunday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2037Monday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2038Tuesday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2039Wednesday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2040Friday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2041Saturday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2042Sunday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2043Monday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2044Wednesday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2045Thursday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2046Friday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2047Saturday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2048Monday \n \n St. AmbroseDec 07\, 2049Tuesday \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nThe History of St. Ambrose?\nBorn around 340 AD in Trier (present-day Germany)\, Ambrose came from a Roman Christian family of high rank. Trained in law and rhetoric\, he was appointed governor of Liguria and Emilia\, based in Milan. At the time\, Milan was not only an imperial capital but also a flashpoint between Nicene Christians and Arians. \nIn 374 AD\, when Milan's bishop died\, Ambrose was unexpectedly chosen as the new bishop—even though he wasn't yet baptized. Within a week\, he was baptized\, ordained\, and consecrated. \nAs Bishop of Milan\, Ambrose became one of the most powerful religious figures in Italy and the Western Roman Empire. Ambrose's leadership transformed Milan into a center of Christian thought\, rivaling Rome in spiritual importance. \nAmbrose is remembered for insisting that emperors were subject to God's law. He resisted Empress Justina's attempts to impose Arian worship in Milan. \nIn 390 AD\, after the Massacre of Thessalonica\, Ambrose forced Emperor Theodosius I to do public penance before he could receive Communion. This was a turning point in establishing the Church's moral authority over political rulers in Italy. \nAmbrose introduced the Ambrosian Rite\, a distinct liturgy still used in Milan today. He promoted Ambrosian chant\, an early form of plainchant\, which became a foundation for Western church music. He also commissioned several churches in Milan\, including the Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio (379–386)\, which remains one of Italy's most important Romanesque churches. \nAmbrose's eloquent preaching deeply influenced St. Augustine of Hippo\, who came to Milan as a skeptic. In 387 AD\, Ambrose baptized Augustine at the Easter Vigil\, an event that shaped the course of Western Christian theology. \nAmbrose died on April 4\, 397 AD in Milan. His relics are enshrined in the crypt of Sant'Ambrogio alongside the martyrs Gervasius and Protasius. Declared one of the Doctors of the Church\, Ambrose became the patron saint of Milan. His feast day\, December 7\, is a holiday in Milan.
