Virgenes de Cordoba, (Paperback)

Córdoba is a land of history, art, and deep Marian devotion. Its churches, hermitages, shrines, and chapels safeguard a unique heritage that has accompanied the spiritual, cultural, and social life of generations of Cordobans. In Vírgenes de Córdoba, historian Juan José Primo Jurado invites us to explore the province through its principal Marian devotions, from the capital to the most remote villages of the Cordoba region. A journey that combines historical rigor, artistic analysis, and devotional sensitivity to bring us closer to more than sixty images of Mary, many of them canonically crowned, true bastions of popular religiosity. Each chapter reveals the story of an image: its origin, its iconography, its creators, the traditions surrounding it, and the fervor it has inspired over the centuries. Virgins who have been a source of comfort, hope, and spiritual guidance for their communities; Virgins who speak of identity, shared memory, and faith made culture. An essential work for lovers of heritage, scholars of sacred art, and all those who wish to know, understand, and appreciate one of the deepest expressions of Cordoba's identity. This book is an invitation to contemplation. To pause before each image and understand how, through art and popular devotion, Mary has continued to reveal Jesus at the heart of Cordoba.
