Many people sought refuge in the rainforest of La Vang in Quảng Trị Province, Vietnam, and many became very ill. While hiding in the jungle, the community gathered every night at the foot of a tree to pray the rosary. One night, an apparition surprised them. In the branches of the tree a lady appeared, wearing the traditional Vietnamese áo dài dress and holding a child in her arms, with two angels beside her. The people present interpreted the vision as the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus Christ. They said that Our Lady comforted them and told them to boil leaves from the trees for medicine to cure the illness. Legend states that the term "La Vang" was a derivative of the Vietnamese word meaning "crying out". Another hypothesis is that La Vang is distorted from the toponym Lá Vằng, lá meaning leaf and vằng meaning jasminum subtriplinerve, a tree species whose leaves are used to made a tisane; according to an ancient practice, a location was sometimes named after a prominent local species of plant or animal.[2]

Extremely beautiful statue Our Lady Of La Vang
Extremely beautiful statue Our Lady Of La Vang. Made In Korea! I couldn't resist, I ordered a second one for my relative. Thank you for being so quick. You guys are awesome! And then the handling is fantastic. The carton arrives today by Fedex, it is brand new without any blemish. Like the shipper's just been handing it to me right after packing it. Thanks again and again.

Deceptive. Don’t waste your money.
This product arrived broken in three pieces. There was no supportive packaging so of course it would be broken during shipment! Also, it is beyond cheap!! The statue was completely hollow except for some rocks that were glued to the inside bottom to give it the illusion of being quality. Don’t trust this one. Deceptive for the price it was asking for.
