EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, published in The Spanish and American Illustration in 1872, depicts the historic moment of the consecration of the Basilica of El Pilar in Zaragoza, Spain. The Basilica, dedicated to Our Lady of the Pilar, is a significant pilgrimage site and a symbol of the rich Catholic heritage of Aragon. The scene unfolds with a grand procession taking place inside the newly completed basilica. A bishop, dressed in his regal attire, stands before the ornate altar, holding a censer as he performs the act of consecration. The smoke from the censer billows upwards, signifying the presence of the divine. A group of boys and men, dressed in their Sunday best, look on in awe, their faces filled with reverence and wonder. The interior of the temple is adorned with intricate details, showcasing the European artistic influence of the time. The Basilica of El Pilar holds immense historical significance for the people of Zaragoza and Spain as a whole. It is a testament to the deep-rooted Catholic faith and the enduring influence of Christianity on European culture. This engraving not only captures the essence of the consecration ceremony but also transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a significant moment in Spanish history.
