THE LEGEND OF DON PELAYO

The Spanish reconquest began with a heroic figure – Don Pelayo – and a miracle of Our Lady in the Cave of Covadonga in Spain in 711. Confronted by an overpowering enemy, this true warrior of resistance placed his trust in God and his Holy Mother and led his small band “to conquer or die!” Protected by the Virgin of Covadonga, these valient men vanquished the Moorish army and began the Catholic reconquest of Spain.
