Marian devotion
Virgin of the Crown
Patrona de Almudévar (Huesca)
On a hill over Almudévar, the shrine of the Virgin of the Crown welcomes the patron of the villa, with a busy spring rosemary.
Origin and history
The shrine of the Virgin of the Crown rises on a hill that dominates Almudévar, in the Hoya of Huesca, and is the main center of the Marian devotion of the villa, of which the Virgin is patron.
His devotion is expressed in a busy spring pilgrimage to the hill and at the patron parties. The accessible sources do not accurately detail the chronology of origin or a canonical coronation.
Date of the festival, documented origin and canonical coronation: these are not reliably stated in the sources.
