Devotion to Virgen de los Dolores

Overview

The devotion to the Virgen de los Dolores (Our Lady of Sorrows) maintains significant cultural and religious importance, particularly in its historical link to Mexican independence. The liturgical feast day on September 15 coincides with the start of Mexican independence celebrations, a connection rooted in Dolores, Guanajuato, where Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla served as parish priest in 1810.

On September 15, religious communities in Córdoba, Mexico, and Almería, Spain, observe the feast. In Córdoba, celebrations at the Iglesia de la Inmaculada include holy mass and the Holy Rosary, with local clergy noting high attendance despite the overshadowing festivities of Mexican Independence Day. In Almería, traditions at the Iglesia de Santiago Apóstol include a symbolic bell ringing from the Vela de la Alcazaba tower, intended to serve as a “symbol of hope and continuity for the community.”
