Our Lady of Monserrat

Statue of Our Lady of Monserrat, Los Sauces, La Palma
Yesterday was the fiesta of Our Lady of Monserrat in Los Sauces. They held a special mass, followed by a procession with the statue. Religious art isn’t really my thing, but it’s a beautiful statue.

The procession follows a fairly long route: the building in the background is the church, and they’re just beginning. I had to miss the rest of the procession and the loa (see yesterday) due to a previous commitment.
