Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Painting of the find of the statue of the Virgen de la Peña by an unknown artist, Ermita de Virgen de la Peña, Barranco de las Peñitas, Vega de Río Palmas, Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain. On May 19, 1445 the monk Fray Juan Torcas was picking herbs, when he was caught unawares in the barranco by a storm and heard wonderful music. He told this to his abbot, who decided to identify the source of the music. For a long time he sounded the rock until he struck on a rock at the narrowest part of the barranco. The rock broke open and a niche was visible, containing a statue of St. Mary, the "Virgin of the Rock" (Virgen de la Peña) File:Santa María - Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Peña - Vega de Rio Palmas.jpg. This statue is now deposited in the main altar of the pilgrimage church Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Peña of Vega de Rio Palmas File:Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Peña - Vega de Rio Palmas.jpg, built in the 17th century, which is the most famous pilgrimage church of Fuerteventura. At the place where the statue had been found, the chapel of the Virgen de la Peña was built File:Ermita de Virgen de la Peña 01.jpg. Once a year, on the third weekend of September, the statute is carried in a procession from the pilgrimage church to the chapel, the location where it had been found. This legend has a historical gist: Probably Gadifer de la Salle has brought the statue from Normandy and hid it in the gorge in fear of pirate attacks. Perhaps the hiding place was forgotten and the statue was discovered years later by chance. Deutsch: Gemälde von der Auffindung der Statue der Virgen de la Peña von einem unbekannten Künstler, Ermita de Virgen de la Peña, Barranco de las Peñitas, Vega de Río Palmas, Fuerteventura, Kanaren, Spanien. Am 19. Mai 1445 sammelte der Mönch Fray Juan Torcas im Kräuter, als er im Barranco von einem Gewitter überrascht wurde und wunderbare Musik hörte. Er erzählte dies seinem Abt, der beschloss, die Quelle der Musik ausfindig zu machen. Lange klopfte er das Gestein ab, bis er an der engsten Stelle auf das Gestein einschlug. Der Fels zersprang und es wurde eine Nische sichtbar, die eine Marienfigur, die "Jungfrau aus dem Fels" (Virgen de la Peña) File:Santa María - Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Peña - Vega de Rio Palmas.jpg enthielt. Diese Statue befindet sich heute in der im 17. Jahrhundert erbauten Wallfahrskirche Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Peña von Vega de Río Palmas File:Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Peña - Vega de Rio Palmas.jpg. An der Stelle, an der die Marienstatue gefunden worden war, wurde die Kapelle Ermita de Virgen de la Peña erbaut File:Ermita de Virgen de la Peña 01.jpg. Einmal im Jahr, am dritten Septemberwochende, wird die Statute in einer Prozession von der Wallfahrtskirche zur Kapelle, dem ursprünglichen Fundort, getragen. Diese Legende hat einen historischen Kern. Vermutlich hat Gadifer de la Salle die Statue aus der Normandie mitgebracht und aus Angst vor Piratenüberfällen in der Schlucht versteckt. Möglicherweise geriet das Versteck in Vergessenheit und die Statue wurde Jahre später zufällig wiederentdeckt. |
