Meaning & History
From Spanish Virgen de Sancho Abarca ("Virgin of Sancho Abarca"), an obscure title of the Virgin Mary venerated in the town of Tauste (Spain). This Marian devotion stems from a wooden sculpture of Mary found in the 16th century in the castle ruins of Navarrese king Sancho II of Pamplona, also known as Sancho Abarca.
