Nuestra Senora
In my Pinterest feed I got some pins of crocheted 'Nuestra Senoras'. They made me think of a trip to the Spanish Island of Lanzarote, belonging to the Canary Islands, a couple of years ago. We were there in the week of Semana Santa, the week between the last sunday before Easter (Dominica in Palmis) and Easter itself, because we wanted to visit one of the processions in the capital of the island, Arrecife. Like the rest of Spain the Canary Islands are mostly Catholic, so religious days are celebrated with a lot of pageantry.
The most beautiful statue that was carried around was of the Virgin de los Dolores, also called Virgin the Los Volcanes, who is the patron of the island. Volcanoes are found everywhere on the island, all Canary Island are volcanic.
This is what the 'real' Virgin de los Dolores really looks like. Normally the statue can be found in the charming little white church of Mancha Blanca, a small village on the island.
The pins didn't come with patte…

How cute. You do so well with these. I loved the cupcake, but this pear better.
ReplyDeleteOkay...I am now of the opinion that everyone needs a smiling pear. That is just too cute!
ReplyDeleteToo cute for words!!! I love pears (they're my second favourite fruit, topped only by raspberries) and anything that depicts them. You always create the most delightfully projects, sweet Liz.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs & many thanks for your wonderfully nice comment on today's new vintage outfit post,

So cute!
ReplyDeleteCutest thing ever. My girls like to crochet (one of them especially) and they will love seeing this! I even blogged about their little crocheting adventure. One of my daughters is also Liz by the way. (She currently wants to be called Liz-ashlea, because her name is Elizabeth Ashlea.) Love your little bio, too. Made me giggle, which is always nice. ;)
