Virgen de Setefilla

Twelve kilometers from the town of Lora del Río is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Setefilla, which has been a pilgrimage site and the site of a popular procession since the late Middle Ages. Its ancestral link with Lora and its region and the unique traditions that surround the entire ceremonial of its very special devotion have made it possible for them to be declared Festivals of Tourist Interest in Andalusia. They are the manifestations of a true religious spirit that links the people of Lora del Río with the Virgin Mary, and is evident in their veneration. From the comings and goings of the Virgin, the bids, the cheers, the requests and the old man, or the trousseau and the jewelery box, to the origin and history of the Sanctuary and its surroundings, Araceli Montoto shows us in this magnificent book a detailed tour for all the keys so that we can understand the magic that comes together around a devotion that crosses the borders of Andalusia.
