I'm recording this on October 12th, which is "el Día de la Virgen del Pilar". So in this episode, let's talk about one of the most important apparitions of the Virgin Mary – Our Lady of the Pillar in Zaragoza. Also, Saint James the Great (AKA Santiago, patron of Spain), the tie-in with Christopher Columbus, a bit about the legacy of colonialism and much more.
