===Origin ===
* Early devotion and first chapel/shrine
Of the Image (or Apparition / Discovery / Carving)
* Role in national history (independence, wars, etc.)
* How, when, and by whom the image was made, found, or first appeared.
* Exact year or century (e.g., “1747”, “early 17th century”, “1652 apparition”).
* Brief context: missionary reductions, shipwreck, indigenous convert, private commission, etc.
* If an apparition is involved: date(s), visionary, message (only the core sentence).
 
=== Arrival or Foundational Miracle ===
* The decisive miracle that “fixed” the image in its definitive place.
** Examples: the ox-cart that would not move (Luján), the nets that suddenly filled with fish (Aparecida), the statue that floated intact after the flood (Caacupé), the parchment left in the chief’s hand (Coromoto), etc.
* One or two sentences maximum – the full miracle details go later in “Miracles”.
 
=== Early Veneration and First Shrine===
* First home altar, chapel, or parish where the image was kept.
* Year the first public chapel/shrine was built (even if modest).
* Early spread of devotion (e.g., “by 1780 pilgrims were already coming from neighbouring provinces”).
 
=== Significant Artistic Copies or Related Images (optional, only if truly notable) ===
* Famous canonical copies (e.g., the 19th-century replica of Our Lady of Luján that travels Argentina).
* Major paintings or statues directly derived from the original that have their own shrines or coronations (e.g., Our Lady of Chiquinquirá’s renovated 16th-century canvas).
 
=== Role in National or Regional History===
* Involvement in independence movements (Thirty-Three Orientals, Battle of Tucumán, etc.).
* Protection during wars (Chaco War for Caacupé, Football War for Suyapa, etc.).
* Key moments of national consecration or renewal of vows to the Virgin.
* Role during 20th-century crises, dictatorships, or reconciliation processes (keep factual and sourced).
 
Example of how this looks in practice (Our Lady of the Thirty-Three)
 
<pre>== History ==
'''Origin of the Image''' 
The small wooden statue of the Immaculate Conception was carved by Guaraní artisans in one of the Jesuit missions of Paraguay during the 18th century.
 
'''Arrival or Foundational Miracle''' 
In April 1825 the Thirty-Three Orientals led by Juan Antonio Lavalleja, exhausted after landing at the Agraciada beach, entered the humble chapel at Pintado (today Florida) and entrusted their liberation campaign to the Virgin. Their unexpected victory gave the image its lasting title.
 
'''Early Veneration and First Shrine''' 
The statue was transferred to the new parish church of Florida in 1857; devotion grew rapidly throughout the new republic.
 
'''Role in National History''' 
In 1930 Pope Pius XI proclaimed her Patroness of Uruguay. During the political crises of the 1970s and 1980s she became a symbol of reconciliation, and in 2015 a replica image toured the country promoting peace.
 
Use exactly these five possible sub-headings (or fewer if some don’t apply). This gives every article perfect uniformity while remaining flexible for titles that are apparitions (Coromoto, Fatima) versus found images (Aparecida, Suyapa) versus deliberately carved statues (Luján, Caacupé).
