The background story of our lady of la Leche statue:

After the birth of Jesus, several doctors in the east saw a star gleaming in the sky above Palestine. After divination, they knew that there was a great man in Israel, so they followed the star’s instructions and brought gifts such as gold, myrrh, and frankincense to Bethlehem. They finally found Jesus and presented him with gifts as a congratulation. Meaning, and respectfully call Jesus the King of the Jews.

When the cruel King Herod heard the news, he was furious and ordered Jesus to be arrested and killed in order to prevent him from endangering his throne in the future. When there was nowhere to be found, King Herod ordered the killing of all babies under the age of two in this area. The “Holy Family” (Holy Family) where Jesus was, was informed by the angels of the news in advance and had nowhere to hide, so he decided to flee to Egypt for temporary refuge.

Joseph, the husband of our lady of la Leche statue, left with his wife and baby Jesus. Not long after leaving the house, I saw a group of soldiers rushing from far away. They hurriedly hid on the spot in a small cave, safely avoided the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, and then successfully arrived in Egypt. After the death of King Herod, they returned to Nazareth in Palestine.

This small cave, which was originally ordinary, was called “Rushi Cave”, and its reputation has since risen. In order for Christians to come to pay their respects and pay their respects, people later built a distinctive church here. Our lady of la Leche statue is also often customized.
