Our Lady of the Rosary of San Nicolás is, in Catholicism, a title of veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary associated with a reported private revelation to Gladys Quiroga de Motta, a middle-aged housewife, beginning in the 1980s in the city of San Nicolás de los Arroyos, Argentina. Quiroga said that she was tasked with promoting devotion to the Mother of God under this title, with an emphasis on key passages in the Bible and a particular mystical stellar symbolism.

The apparitions have continued almost every day since 1983 and have been approved the Catholic Church. Messages from 1983 to 1990[2] have been officially published and miracles, conversions and healings are said to occur in the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Rosary of San Nicolás in Buenos Aires, Argentina, built especially for the veneration of Mary. Under the title María Del Rosario de San Nicolas, de Motta stated that the Virgin Mary called Catholics to pray one hour per day.
The devotional image, that of a standing Madonna offering rosary beads to the faithful, resembles that of Our Lady of Mount Carmel offering the scapular to Simon Stock, while differing from traditional Dominican Seat of Wisdom-type depictions of Our Lady of the Rosary popularized by the Order of Preachers.
The pilgrimage site, named in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary of San Nicolás erected in San Nicolás de los Arroyos, is one of the most important in Argentina.[3]
