May 11 Virgen de la Candelaria, Cayma, Arequipa, Peru. . In 1544, Dominican friars founded a monastery overlooking Arequipa, the White City, in the Andes Mountains of southern Peru. Not many years later, according to tradition, Emperor Charles V of Spain sent a statue of the Virgin as a gift to the region. The Indians carrying it heard a voice ordering them to go "no further" ("caiman" in Quechua, hence the town's name), and though they tried to continue their march, were unable to move the image and so built a chapel for it there.
