=== Symbols in national life === | |||
The celestial blue and white of the Virgin’s mantle inspired the colours of the [[Argentine]] flag created by Manuel Belgrano in 1812. Military regiments and police forces take their oath before her image, and the phrase “¡Viva la Patria y Nuestra Señora de Luján!” remains a traditional patriotic cry. | |||

* Featured in the national epic Martín Fierro and in songs by Ariel Ramírez and Félix Luna | |||
* Patroness of the National University of Luján | |||
=== Role in crises and reconciliation === | |||
During the 1982 Malvinas/Falklands War, [[Saint John Paul II]] sent a Golden Rose and soldiers carried replicas into battle. In 1983 and 2003, after periods of military rule and economic collapse, the Argentine bishops renewed the consecration of the nation to Our Lady of Luján as a sign of hope and reconciliation.</pre> | |||
