Our Lady of Covadonga/Cuadonga also named “La Santina” is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the name of a Marian shrine devoted to her at Covadonga/Cuadonga, Asturias. The shrine in northwestern Spain rose to prominence following the Battle of Covadonga in about 720, which was the first defeat of the Moors during their invasion of Spain. A statue of the Virgin Mary, hidden in one of the caves, was believed to have miraculously aided the Christian victory.
Our Lady of Covadonga/Cuadonga is the co-patron of Asturias, Spain. A basilica was built to house the current statue. Her feast day is 8 September, as it is also the autonomic day of Asturias
