It was wonderful to see the plaza and Cathedral looking their best. Thank you. And the King's speech was very moving. I have a question. When the King was inspecting the Honour Guard he was carrying a wooden staff or stick with a silver top, and he still carried it as he entered the cathedral...
Thank you for these photos. This all seems to answer the question and updates everyone about the statues of which there seem to be at least three: one high on the facade of the cathedral (Santiago as pilgrim) and the two inside (Santiago Matamoros triumphant, especially in the side chapel)
Thanks Lynn, great photo! Where was the statue when you took this picture? I understand the it was moved into a chapel and Ivar's recent video seems to confirm this.
Does anyone have a good photo of the Statue of Santiago in the cathedral at SdeC? I am not sure where exactly it is, but have been told that there is one in a small chapel off the north transept. It is I understand a depiction of Santiago Matamoros that is deemed politically incorrect at present...
