Las joyas en el vestir de la Virgen

Throughout history, jewelery has not only served as mere decorative elements as a result of human waste or frivolity, but they have been and are objects closely linked to people's lives for many other reasons. They must be studied as a source for the explanation of society, where fundamental aspects in the achievement of events, such as social, commercial or political relations; human behavior, fads and trends; customs or religiosity itself are perfectly reflected in them, and their particularities can be understood through them. The jewels have acted as a primordial testimony of devotion for the faithful regarding the particular case of Marian images, as well as popular religiosity seen from a global point of view. For this, the votive offer has played an essential role as a correspondence tool and thanks to the favor received, after the prayers of supplication of the faithful to the venerated image. These objects offered to Mary, will complement the iconography of the Mother of God as Queen of Heaven, which together with her rich clothing and the rest of the attachments and attributes of her earthly power, will help us present the Virgin in Majesty, exultant, as a perfect Woman and Model of believers.
