Our Lady of Macarena, Sevilla Posted by Hello

The Church in Sevilla, Spain, is home to the most adored religious image in all of Andalucía, the 17th-century Virgen de la Esperanza (Hope) sculpture. Commonly known simply as La Macarena, she is the patron saint of bullfighters and the city's supreme representation of the grieving, yet hoping, mother of Christ. The church's museum displays the holy lady's rich vestments and other lavish Semana Santa accoutrements.

The face of the Virgin with a tear is one of the most beautiful scuplture I have seen of the Blessed Mother.

Yes its where the famous song "Macarena" emanated from. Well the song referred to the city not the church in the city:)
