Regarding the devotion to the Lord of Miracles of Buga:
The Minor Basilica of the Lord of Miracles of Buga is a Colombian Catholic Basilica located in Guadalajara de Buga (Valle del Cauca), dedicated to the Lord of Miracles of Buga. Redemptorist missionaries have carried out the missionary works in the church and shrine of the Lord of Miracles in Buga since 1884. Due to the increasing number of pilgrims, the Redemptorist community promoted the construction of the current church, which was inaugurated on August 2, 1907, and later elevated to a Minor Basilica in 1937.
