Chinita
Our Lady of the Rosary of Chiquinquirá is one of the many popular representations of the Virgin Mary in Venezuela. The image is most venerated in Maracaibo in the state of Zulia, where it is also called La Chinita.
Chiquinquirá is a place in Colombia where the Virgin was painted in the sixteenth century. However, the Venezuelan representation has its own story of discovery which you can on this photo.
