Our Lady of Candelaria: Wood Carving from Val Gardena
The statue of Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria, affectionately known as "La Morenita," is one of the most profound symbols of Marian devotion. It represents the encounter between faith and light, symbolized by the candle held in the Virgin's right hand. Our Val Gardena wood carvings pay tribute to this historic icon, combining Spanish sacred tradition with the mastery of South Tyrolean craftsmanship.
Each piece is entirely hand-crafted, with meticulous attention paid to the rich golden attire, the regal posture, and the figure of the Child Jesus, who holds a small bird in his hands. This sacred sculpture is not merely a devotional object, but a masterpiece of craftsmanship designed to last for generations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the iconographic meaning of the Madonna of Candelaria? The Virgin of Candelaria takes her name from the "candela" (candle), which symbolizes Christ as the "Light of the World." This depiction is linked to the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple and the Purification of Mary. Our sculpture faithfully reproduces the classic attributes: the candle, the Child Jesus, and the ceremonial robes.
Why choose a wood carving from Val Gardena? Val Gardena carving is globally recognized for its superior artistic quality. Purchasing a Candelaria in wood produced in this region means choosing a certified work created by artisans who pass down centuries-old techniques, ensuring a lasting artistic value.
Is the statue suitable as a significant gift? Certainly. The Madonna of Candelaria is deeply loved not only in the Canary Islands but throughout Latin America and Hispanic communities worldwide. It is an ideal gift for baptisms, weddings, or for blessing a new home, thanks to its powerful message of light and spiritual guidance.
How is the quality of the wood preserved over time? To keep the beauty of the sculpture intact, it is recommended to dust it with a dry, soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight and intense heat sources (such as radiators), which could cause small natural cracks in the living wood.
