“The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald. In The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald brilliantly captures both the disillusion of post-war America and the moral failure of a society obsessed with wealth and status. But he does more than render the essence of a particular time and place, for in chronicling Gatsby’s tragic pursuit of his dream, Fitzgerald recreates the universal conflict between illusion and reality.

According to tradition, Mary appeared to a man called Mario Omodei in the early hours of the morning on 29 September 1504.

Nuestra Señora del Quinche

The miraculous statue of Our Lady of the Presentation of Quinche, the patroness of Ecuador.

The wooden sculpture was carved in the 16th century, and has been venerated in Quinche since at least 1604. The devotion has always been popular with Ecuador’s Indian population. They affectionately refer to Our Lady of Quinche as ‘la Pequeñita’ (the Little One).
