Bodhicitta
This happened in Spain at AD 40, when Mary was still alive. Today Oct. 12 is when the Church celebrates the event:

One prayer Catholics use to Mary:
Hail Holy Queen!
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve,
To thee do we send up our sighs,
Mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us,
And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
