Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the significance of Our Lady of Covadonga? Our Lady of Covadonga is tied to the legendary Battle of Covadonga (722 AD) and is considered the symbol of the beginning of the Reconquista. She is venerated as a protector in difficult situations and a source of spiritual strength.
Why is the statue often depicted with such a distinctive mantle? The original image kept in the Holy Cave of Covadonga wears a wide, often magnificently embroidered mantle. In our wood carvings, this mantle is sculpted three-dimensionally so that the "Santina’s" typical silhouette is perfectly rendered in wood.
How is the Madonna’s crown crafted? In high-quality Val Gardena figures, the crown is either carved directly from the block of wood (a very complex process) or added as a separate element made of wood or metal. This gives the statue its regal and solemn appearance.
Is international shipping available? Yes, we ship our wood carvings worldwide. Statues are packed in specialized safety packaging to ensure that your Our Lady of Covadonga arrives intact and perfect at its destination
