Our Lady of Palmar (Spanish: Nuestra Señora del Palmar), known formally as Our Crowned Mother of Palmar (Spanish: Nuestra Madre del Palmar Coronada), is a Palmarian Christian title of the Blessed Virgin Mary associated with an alleged Marian apparition in the Spanish village of El Palmar de Troya in 1968. The apparition is not recognized by the authorities of the Roman Catholic Church but is recognized by the Palmarian Catholic Church which, since 1978, claims to be the legitimate Catholic Church. The Cathedral-Basilica of Our Crowned Mother of Palmar, the mother church of the Palmarian Christian Church, serves as the major shrine of Our Lady of Palmar and was built on the site of the alleged apparition.
