Church named Madre de Dios

[pelerine]

I have just reread my blog of when I walked part of the camino mozárabe and came across the church of Madre de Dios in Castro del Rio, I think. Have problems switching from one page to another on my iPad (or mobile or any device - have problems also geting out of the italics).
Bref, in my long life I have come across many churches, our Lady this and that, but never Madre de Dios. The church is closed. You can find it on the internet. Does anybody know of a church called Mother of God or Muttergottes?

Edit: somebody got me out of the italics! Thank you!

Yes, I know of many churches with "Mother of God" in their name, it's not uncommon

Does anybody know of a church called Mother of God or Muttergottes?

There are several in Germany and Austria, either Muttergotteskirche or Muttergotteskapelle, for a list see here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muttergotteskirche

Somewhat common in Portuguese as well (Mãe de Deus).

One in Açores islands: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igreja_de_Nossa_Senhora_da_Mãe_de_Deus
One in Brazil: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santuário_Nossa_Senhora_Mãe_de_Deus

Interesting. Thank you all! What a long list, Kathar1na! And the one which triggered this thread is not even on it! And the two links, Anamaya, specially the one about the church in Porto Alegre!

I felt honored to see this church named after me.
