Marian devotion
Our Lady of the Rocío in Nicaragua
Managua, Nicaragua
The devotion to the Virgin of the Rocío was brought by the Andalusian settlers.
In Managua, the Parish of the Rocío is the center of devotion to the Virgin of the Rocío, brought by Andalusian immigrants in the 19th century.
Nicaraguans of Andalusian origin celebrate the feast of the Virgin of the Rocío with the same passion as in Spain. The processions go through the streets of Managua with flamenco music and songs.
Tradition tells that the Virgin of the Rocío protects Nicaraguans who live far from their land.
