The tradition of Pilar de Zaragoza

Tradition says that the Blessed Virgin Mary when she still lived in Jerusalem came in the flesh at Zaragoza to encourage the Apostle Santiago. Santiago was on the banks of the Ebro preaching the Gospel. This happened on January 2 of year 40 d.C.
The Virgin Mary came, who appeared and brought the columns or pillars on it for the first chapel was built, the first Marian church in Christendom.
That was followed and temples to which we see today.
