The Feast of Our Lady of Ransom (Nuestra Señora de la Merced) is a Roman Catholic liturgical Marian feast. In the General Roman Calendar of 1960, it was celebrated on 24 September, commemorating the foundation of the Mercedarians. After Vatican II, the name for the Marian commemoration on that date was changed to "Our Lady of Mercy".[1]
The Feast of Our Lady of Ransom is no longer included in the General Roman calendar, but continues to be greatly celebrated in certain places like Vallarpadam Church, in Barcelona and in the Order of the Mercedarians.
