It was commissioned in 1965 by St. Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer, President General of Opus Dei, founder and first Chancellor of the University of Navarra, moved by his devotion to the Blessed Virgin and his affection for the University.
An elevated place was sought for it from which, in some way, the image of the Virgin would preside over the campus and the Clinic.

Blessed in Rome by Pope St. Paul VI, it arrived in Pamplona on February 22, 1966.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL SCULPTURE
According to St. Josemaría's autograph grade for the commission of our Lady to the sculptor Sciancalepore.... "She is life-size, rather tall; seated and holding the Child Jesus, who will be standing on a stack of books; the spines of at least three of these books will be visible: the lowest, on which will read degree scroll: Civil Law; another will read Medicine; and the highest, Ius Canonicum; the Child will hold a rose in his left hand, pressed against his breast; and with his right hand, he will bless.
It was commissioned in 1965 by Saint Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer, priest, saint and founder of Opus Dei and first Chancellor of the University of Navarra, moved by his devotion to the Blessed Virgin and his affection for the University.
