<div class="text-justify">

Our *Lady of Sorrows* or simply *Virgin of Sorrows*, is a Marian invocation that is venerated in various Spanish cities. It is usually represented by the typical scene of the Sorrowful Mother: the Virgin on her knees, covered with a broad cloak over a red suit, which holds her Son by the head.

Like other Marian apparitions, it also enjoys a pious legend around its appearance, which would have occurred at the end of the 16th century, when brothers were fishing in the estuary of **San Bartolomé**, in Portuguese waters. At the end of the task, they discovered with surprise in their networks, a box of enormous weight, which contained inside a beautiful image of the Virgin with her son Jesus in her arms, after which they gave notice to the civil and ecclesiastical authorities of the region.

This image is located on the right wing of the *Immaculate Conception Church*, located in the Downtown of **Barquisimeto**, and which would be the first religious temple built in the city.

The original photograph, taken a few years ago, was modified with the tools provided by the **PicsArt** image editor. This time, and as I have described in previous posts, I used a filter overlay, starting with a filter of the HDR (High Dynamic Range) type in order to enlarge the tones of the original image, and later a simple Black &  White filter.</div>

<div class="text-justify">

*Nuestra Señora de las Angustias* o simplemente *Virgen de las Angustias*, es una advocación mariana que se venera en diversas ciudades españolas. Se suele representar por la típica escena de la Madre Dolorosa: la Virgen de rodillas, cubierta con un amplio manto sobre un traje rojo, que sostiene por la cabeza a su Hijo.

Al igual que otras apariciones marianas, ésta también goza de una piadosa leyenda alrededor de su aparición, la cual habría ocurrido a finales del Siglo XVI, cuando unos hermanos se encontraban pescando en el estero de *San Bartolomé**, en aguas portuguesas. Al finalizar la faena, descubrieron con sorpresa en sus redes, una caja de enorme peso, que contenía en su interior una hermosa imagen de la Virgen con su hijo Jesús en los brazos, tras lo cual, dieron aviso a las autoridades civiles y eclesiásticas de la región.

Esta imagen se encuentra en el ala derecha de la *Iglesia Inmaculada Concepción*, ubicada en el Casco Central de **Barquisimeto**, y el cual sería el primer templo religioso construido en la ciudad.

La fotografía original tomada unos años atrás, fue modificada con las herramientas que proporciona el editor de imágenes **PicsArt**. En esta oportunidad, y como he descrito en publicaciones anteriores, utilicé una superposición de filtros, comenzando con un filtro del tipo HDR (High Dynamic Range) con la finalidad de ampliar los tonos de la imagen original, y posteriormente un filtro sencillo de Blanco & Negro.</div>
