Statue of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Remains Untouched After Devastating Forest Fire in Colombia
A recent forest fire destroyed nearly 500 acres of vegetation in North Santander in Colombia. Amid the fire's destruction, a completely intact statue of Our Lady of Mount Carmel was found.
The statue was found in the Fontibón village in the municipality of Pamplona, Colombia. The images went viral on social networks.
Local media outlet Correo Expreso said volunteers administering aid and donations found the statue.
“It made quite an impression on us. We were going to the Fontibón village to deliver aid, and on the edge of the road was the little Virgin in perfect condition in the middle of what was the fire. I consider this a miracle,” one person said.
The Mayor's Office of Pamplona shared a video showing the site of the fire and noted that the fire passed along the road without touching it.
We are “next to the grotto of the Virgin of Carmel which became famous because incredibly, and I am not very given to these speculations, the fire passed from one side of the road, as you can see, towards the other hills, and don't ask me why, nowhere in the grotto, not even in the back, is there any damage," said Klaus Faber Mogollón, the mayor of Pamplona.
"Faith moves mountains. We continue our work hand in hand with the Almighty who feeds our spirit and strengthens our hearts,” the mayor's office added.
Mogollón called for environmental awareness and ended the video by crossing himself in front of the statue of Our Lady.
“I hope that the faith we all have in our Creator serves for the good of the city of Pamplona, for the good of all of us, and for the good of humanity,” he concluded.
So far, this environmental catastrophe hit eight Colombian departments. The North Santander has taken action to control the fire, which has been declared a public calamity.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us!

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

If the place occupied by Mary has been essential to the equilibrium of the Faith, today it is urgent, as in few other epochs of the Church, to rediscover that place. It is necessary to go back to Mary if we want to return to that ‘truth about Jesus Christ’.—Pope Benedict XVI
