hierarchical_section_title: Our Lady of the Good Event / 16th-century church in Madrid
context_page_description: Our Lady of the Good Event is the English translation of the Spanish-language Catholic Marian title Nuestra Señora del Buen Suceso, often mistranslated as Our Lady of Good Success due to the superficial similarity between the Spanish word "suceso" and the English false friend "success."
  Properly speaking, the phrase "Good Event" refers to the Purification of Mary and the Presentation of Jesus.
context_section_description: The Obregonians were a small Roman Catholic congregation of men, founded in Madrid by Bernardino de Obregón, and dedicated to the care of the sick. Their motherhouse was adjacent to the Church of Buen Suceso, which had originally been built around 1529 as the Hospital Real de la Corte (Royal Hospital of the Court). Since 1590 the structure was rebuilt as a new church and hospital. Around 1607, Pope Paul V presented the Obregonians with a statue of the Virgin, entitled Virgen del Buen Suceso. Copies of the image were produced and veneration of Mary under this title spread throughout Spain and its territories.
