点评:I wandered over to Basilica De La Macarena to see the famous weeping Virgin of Hope. The statue was created in 1680s and was known for its famous sorrowful expression and tears of crystals. It was beautiful and solemn. I sat in the pews for awhile and was mildly annoyed by a blogger who was constantly moving back and forth in front of the altar filming and commenting as he went along. I was surprised at the latitude given.
Next door I paid the 3.5E admission fee to enter the basilica's museum. Here you get to see the float where the Virgin of Hope is carried around Seville during Holy Week. It also contained more details about the statue, parade accessories and its importance. There also were matador outfits since the virgin has been relied upon as a protector of bullfighters.
Even-though it's away from Seville's historic city center, it's worth the detour.
翻译:我漫步前往马卡雷纳大教堂,瞻仰著名的“希望之泪”圣母像。这座雕像创作于17世纪80年代,以其哀伤的表情和晶莹剔透的泪珠而闻名。它庄严肃穆,美轮美奂。我在长椅上坐了一会儿,却被一位博主弄得有点恼火,他不停地在祭坛前来回走动,一边拍摄一边评论。我对这种自由度感到惊讶。
隔壁的教堂博物馆里,我花了3.5欧元的门票进去参观。在这里,你可以看到圣周期间在塞维利亚巡游时抬着“希望之泪”圣母像的花车。博物馆里还详细介绍了这座雕像、游行用的道具以及它的重要意义。此外,由于圣母一直被视为斗牛士的守护神,所以博物馆里还展出了斗牛士的服装。
虽然这里离塞维利亚的历史中心有点远,但绝对值得绕道前往。
