Talk:Patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Bolivia
I've just read that the Virgin Mary is officially recognised as an "Admiral of the Bolivian Navy", and was formally crowned in 1925 as "Queen of the Bolivian Republic". I know it sounds absurd, but I'm not making this up. It's from a newspaper article ("Virgin on the miraculous", about Copacabana, Bolivia, by Campbell Smith, in The Age, 3 July 2004). Is there any truth to this? -- JackofOz 04:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
