Pagan devotion

Santuario de la Difunta Correa
The Deceased Correa (in Spanish La Difunta Correa) is a pagan mytical figure in folk-religion, for which a number of people in Argentina  and Chile , especially among the popular classes, feel a great devotion. It has spread, in a limited way, to neighbouring countries such as Uruguay . Every year since its inception in 1840, miracles are said to have occurred at the shrine of La Difunta Correa, and thousands of people have visited there to pay their respects. The shrine is situated in the small town of Vallecito, 1160 km from Buenos Aires and 63 km from the city of San Juan.
