Post your Spanish religious-word together with it's English translation.

And, if you want, find a picture and post that as well...

Medjugorje - Medjugorje

(Croatian pronunciation: [?m?d?u???rj?]) is a town located in western Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the Herzegovina region around 25 km southwest of Mostar and close to the border of Croatia. Today the town is best known due to claims of apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary to six Croats since 24 June 1981, and is now visited by thousands of pilgrims from around the world as a Marian shrine. The shrine is not officially recognised by the Catholic Church, making it one of the world's largest illicit Catholic shrines.

J -- Justificación -- justification

Justification in Christ: God's Free Gift Pope Benedict XVI

General Audience on St. Paul declares no opposition between faith and works

At the General Audience on Wednesday, 19 November [2008], in St. Peter's Square, the Holy Father spoke on St Paul's teaching on our justification. The following is a translation of the Pope's Catechesis, which was given in Italian.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

On the journey we are making under St. Paul's guidance, let us now reflect on a topic at the centre of the controversies of the century of the Reformation: the question of justification. How does man become just in God's eyes?

When Paul met the Risen One on the road to Damascus he was an accomplished man; irreproachable according to the justice deriving from the Law (cf. Phil 3:6), Paul surpassed many of his contemporaries in the observance of the Mosaic Law and zealously upheld the traditions of his fathers (cf. Gal 1:14).

The illumination of Damascus radically changed his life; he began to consider all merits acquired in an impeccable religious career as "refuse", in comparison with the sublimity of knowing Jesus Christ (cf. Phil 3:8).
