This church is dedicated to the Blessed Mother of God Santa Maria. The addition "de la Asunción" of the patronage refers to the Feast of the Annunciation to Mary (feast day is March 25th, exactly 9 months before Christmas), when the angel of the Lord brought her the message that she was the Son of God - Jesus Christ - to bring into the world.
According to the account in the first chapter of the Gospel of Luke, this happened in Nazareth (Israel). There is a large church on the spot where this happened - according to a tradition of around two thousand years - which can therefore be used as the 'origin patronal church' for the title of this church here.
