Our Lady of Good Success
Our Lady of Good Success is the English translation of the Spanish-language Catholic Marian title Nuestra Señora de la Buena Suerte. This title is associated with Marian images located in the Spanish cities of Granada and Zaragoza, the island of La Gomera, and the region of Catalonia. The seaside location of many of these images suggests that Spanish sailors would invoke Mary under this title specifically to petition for safe voyages.Conflation with "Buen Suceso"
Among English speakers, this title is often confused with a similar title, Nuestra Señora del Buen Suceso, due the superficial similarity between "success" in English and "suceso" in Spanish. The Buen Suceso title, however, refers specifically to the "good event" of the Purification of Mary and the Presentation of Jesus.
