Summary

A revered copy of the Santa Face of Jaén, donated to the Cathedral of Seville in 1629, became a focal point of devotion and worship among the faithful. Initially housed in the main sacristy, it was later transferred to the Chapel of Nuestra Señora de la Antigua in 1690, where it was encased in a silver reliquary before being placed in its current tabernacle in 1739. This study traces the evolution of the cult surrounding this sacred artifact, highlighting its significance in religious practice and its enduring presence in the cathedral's architectural and liturgical landscape.
