Marian devotion
Virgin of the Remedy
Elda Patron (Alicante)
The Virgin of the Remedia is the patron of Elda, venerated in her sanctuary; her devotion is the heart of the holidays of the city of the Vinalopó Valley.
Origin and history
The Virgin of the Remedia is the patron of Elda, in the valley of the Vinalopó, venerated in her sanctuary as the main center of local Marian devotion and the axis of the city's feasts.
His devotion is expressed in romanies and patronal celebrations. The accessible sources do not safely close the chronology of origin, the date of the feast or a canonical coronation (the feast of August 5 corresponds to the Virgin of the Remedia of the city of Alicante, a different advocation).
Date of the festival, documented origin and canonical coronation: these are not reliably stated in the sources.
