Everyone, including this statue, could use a few good stylists. They are getting her ready to be part of the celebrations of Viernes de Dolores on the last Friday of lent in San Miguel.
Main elements of the altars are:
Altar cloths and white flowers: Mary’s purity
Purple cloak: pain and penitence
Bitter oranges: the Virgin’s sorrow. These oranges are painted gold in order to recall the joy of the resurrection.
Fresh chamomile: its colors represent humility (green) and beauty in body and soul (yellow).
Sprouting wheat: represents Christ as Eucharistic bread
Ice cream, flavored water and pumpkin candies: the Virgin’s sweet tears
