Photo Of The Day: Santa Rosalia

Santa Rosalia (Ink drawing by Virginia Palyka)

The 18th Avenue Feast may be over, but Santa Rosalia lives on in this incredible artwork submitted by local artist Virginia Palyka. She included this message:

[Santa Rosalia] is shown as she looks in the shrine at the festival, but with missing relics included – I’ve been told she sometimes appears in the shrine with some bones. She may also appear with a book, skull, or lilies.
