A Brief History of the Virgin of Regla The Virgin of Regla is a Marian devotion of great veneration in Spain, Cuba, Mexico, and the Philippines. Her cult dates back to the 4th century, when, according to tradition, Saint Augustine venerated her in North Africa. After the persecution of Christians, an image was brought to Chipiona (Cádiz, Spain), where the main shrine was built in her honor. The Virgin of Regla is considered the protector of sailors and a symbol of hope, faith, and maternal protection.
