Why pilgrims come
Discover what makes Basilica Shrine of the Lord of Miracles of Buga a place of pilgrimage
An active Redemptorist basilica centered on the venerated crucifix known as the Lord of Miracles of Buga. Its intensive daily Mass schedule, regular healing liturgies, September feast, ex-votos, and pilgrim services distinguish it from an ordinary historic church. Individual miracle testimonies are not treated as blanket Church adjudications.
Buga is a living Christological pilgrimage centered on the venerated crucifix known as the Lord of Miracles. Join the basilica’s sacramental life, pray before the image, and read the ex-votos and museum as testimony without treating every personal account as a separately authenticated miracle.
