Abstract


Historiography offers us and extent relation about images, relics and miracles that guaranteed the «eternal presence» of saints in Andalusian communities. Such belief, apart from expressing collective sensibility and popular religiousness, constituted a key subject that can be interpreted as the product of an ideological construction. This construction was forged by the discourse and the accounts of learned laymen and ecclesiastics who led by a sense of patriotic pride intended to highlight honor and urban dignity.
