Vintage postcard of Our Lady of Belen (Bethlehem) in Cusco, Peru.
An ancient legend tells us that this image of Mary appeared one day floating on the sea by the Peruvian coast, near the port of San Miguel in Piura. According to the legend, the Virgin carried a note in which she requested to be taken to Cusco. There the image was placed in the church of the Holy Kings, which later became known as the church of Our Lady of Belen.
