The Santa Maria de Real Cathedral

The next day, we met our local tour guide Francisco who was was both interesting and entertaining. The cathedral is quite unique. There is a small fee to enter and the Bishop here has attached an interpretive center including a interpretation of where we are in 2025 in our spiritual belief. The Holy Mary alter is 1000 years old. Mary was initially depicted as a detached God like unrelatable figure. The matriarch 20 years later is depicted as touching Jesus and thus became more warm, human and relatable.Okumaya devam et
