The Virgin of La Purísima Concepcion wich is an Immaculate Concepcion, patroness of Celaya, was brought from the Iberian Peninsula to New Spain in 1577. At first, she was a simple wooden sculpture with her garments painted onto the figure. Her first great miracle was recorded in the seventeenth century. Between those years and the eighteenth century, jewels began to be donated to adorn her, as votive offerings of gratitude from Celaya society for the favors and miracles received. She was modified in the nineteenth century so that she could be dressed in garments of silk, silver, and velvet, while donations of pearls and precious stones continued, until 1909, when she was canonically crowned in confirmation of the devotion she inspired.
