Under Pope Innocent XIII, approved by the Sacred Congregation of Rites on the 7th of August, 1723, the following narrative: “According to ancient and pious tradition, St. James the Greater, led by Providence into Spain, spent some time at Saragossa. (Then called Cæsar- Augusta.) He there received a signal favour from the Blessed Virgin. As he was praying with his disciples one night, upon the banks of the Ebro, as the same tradition informs us, the Mother of God, who still lived, appeared to him, and commanded him to erect an oratory in that place. The apostle delayed not to obey this injunction, and with the assistance of his disciples soon constructed a small chapel. In the course of time a larger church was built and dedicated, which, with the dedication of St. Saviour’s, is kept as a festival in the city and diocese of Saragossa on the 4th of October.” (Quoted in “LEGENDS OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN” by J.
