There are several stories that have arisen around the size of Esperanza Macarena. One of those legends dates back to the 16th century, when a newly founded brotherhood was looking for an image for their temple of Saint Basil. Near the church, the hospital of the Five Wounds (today seat of the Parliament of Andalusia) kept the mysterious suitcase of an Italian traveler who intended to leave for the Indies. However, a fatal disease prevented him. One year after his death, the hospital opened the luggage and discovered the image. When the brotherhood learned of the find, proposed a barter: the image of the virgin in exchange for the new clock that the hospital so badly needed. yes, there was a curious condition: if the Virgin ever entered the hospital again, I would not leave there again.
