Our Lady of Victory is a title given to the Virgin Mary, particularly in connection with the victory of the Christian forces in the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. This battle was fought between the Holy League, a coalition of Christian states, and the Ottoman Empire. The victory was attributed to Mary's intercession, leading to the establishment of the feast day of Our Lady of Victory on October 7. The title is also associated with the Our Lady of Victory Basilica in Buffalo, New York, which was built in the early 20th century. This basilica is a significant place of worship and pilgrimage, honoring Mary under this title. The devotion to Our Lady of Victory emphasizes faith, hope, and the power of prayer in overcoming challenges.
