Overview: The Virgin of Hope of Macarena (Spanish: Virgen de la Esperanza Macarena), popularly known as the Virgin of Macarena or simply La Macarena, is a Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary associated with a pious 17th century wooden image of the Blessed Virgin venerated in the Basilica de la Macarena in Seville, Spain. The Marian title falls under a category of Our Lady of Sorrows commemorating the desolate grievance and piety of the Virgin Mary during Holy Week. The image is widely considered as a national treasure by the Spanish people, primarily because of its religious grandeur during Lenten celebrations.(Submitted on July 29, 2024, by Charles Berman of Binghamton, New York.)
