The Virgin/ Our Lady of Los Remedios is a title of the Virgin Mary developed by the Trinitarian Order, founded in the late 12th century. The devotion became tied to the Reconquista of Spain, then still at its height. In the following century it spread to other parts of Europe.
María de los Remedios Alicia Rodriga Varo y Uranga was born in Anglès, a small town in the province of Girona (Catalonia), in 1908. Her mother named Varo in honor of the Virgen de los Remedios (the "Virgin of Remedies").

“...science is being held back by centuries-old assumptions that have hardened into dogmas...The biggest scientific delusion of all is that science already knows the answers. The details still need working out but, in principle, the fundamental questions are settled.” ~ Sheldrake Image
