CarMalaga.Com Tip: More about Madrid - Almudena Cathedral |
| Tradition tells us that,
at the beginning of the first century A.D., the apostle James passed
through these lands when there was only a small Roman hamlet, and
built a tiny church. where he left a statue of the Virgin. The carving
was preserved through the centuries but, when the Arab invasion was
imminent, the people decided to hide it in one of the lookout towers
in the wall built by the Romans. The Muslims occupied the territory and the church became a mosque. and. as time went by. all memory of how to recover the Virgin was lost. After the re-conquest of the city. a series of processions were held to ask for it to re-appear, and on the very last day, a turret in the wall collapsed exposing the carving. To everyone's great amazement, it was still lit by the two lamps placed by it when it had been hidden. |
