This work tells the story of her devotion, that is born in Spain, in the sierra in Aragon, where his image was found by some coal miners in the 13th century, and later their arrival to the lands of Cuyo, to become a figure of identity of Mendoza and the viticulture. The signification of the devotion in the framework of the historical changes, social and cultural rights, and also the iconographic changes to her link to the mural made up of Coronation of the Virgin of Carrodilla, work which conforms her representation.
