This little book (which possess one of the few remaining copies) must be consulted is when you want to know the shrine and the image of Our Lady of Belchite Pueyo.
According to tradition, a disciple of James preached Christianity to the belchitanos and they left an image of the Virgin was hidden when threatened by the invasions of the Muslims. Later, when peace reigned in our country, appeared on a sisallo on a hill called the Pueyo.
The author provides news about the original shrine of the Virgin (which premises are processed and the tower) and the new temple built in 1725, with its altars and images of the Virgin.
Refers to the installation of the Augustinians in this place, but does not specify the year (it is shown that was documented in 1594). If you point that moved the people of Belchite in 1597. Speaking about the capitulation and agreement signed between the Chapter parish and the convent (p. 58) says: "... and one of its clauses is stated that the hermitage of Nuestra Señora del Pueyo and its income is applied and awarded by the Mr. Archbishop of Zaragoza to the town of Belchite ... "But this quote does not belong to any clause of the capitulation and harmony, but the first preparatory meeting held in Pueyo. Take
Chapter V of the translations of the image of the Virgin in the parish, the last in 1896 and another, the VI, the favors granted to her devotees. Ends with the novena and joys. JOAQUIN
