Description
Summary:In this article we will analyze, from the geography of religion, the devotion to the "Virgen de las Nieves" in San Carlos de Bariloche through the analysis of the ex-votos. The grotto of the Virgin, located eleven kilometers from the center of the city, has been built by a soldier in fulfillment of a promise, in the army of mountain land. This Grotto is constituted as sacred territory with a particular dynamic that makes it in a devotional epicenter respect to the adjacent spaces involved in religious practice. Accordingly, we make a first characterization of the grotto of the Virgin as sacred space and symbolic place through the classification, categorization and analysis of material offerings and promises of the devotees.
