Resumo: The gothic image of Saint Mary of Africa, representing the Pietà, was sent to Ceuta by Prince Henry (the Navigator) at an uncertain date but, it is believed that it was shortly after Ceuta was taken in 1415. Shrouded in legends about its origins, it was elected patron and protector of Ceuta, after defending the city from the Muslims and the plague. On an also undetermined date, people started to dress this image, a tradition that was recently called into question because of the risks to its preservation. This paper, as part of a wider investigation about devotional dressed sculptures, intends to clarify the several misconceptions about the origin of this miraculous sculpture, and understand how the deep devotion towards it, insists in watching it in processions and adorned with mantles.

Henrique em data incerta mas, crê-se, pouco depois da tomada em 1415. Envolta em lendas quanto à sua origem, foi eleita padroeira e protetora de Ceuta, após defender a cidade dos mouros e da peste. Em data também incerta, começaram a vesti-la, tradição recentemente posta em causa devido aos riscos colocados à sua conservação. Este artigo, inserido numa investigação mais alargada sobre Imagens de Vestir, pretende aclarar os vários equívocos acerca da origem desta escultura milagrosa e perceber como a profunda devoção de que é alvo insiste em vê-la em procissão e adornada com mantos.Câmara Municipal de Lisboa2015-12-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.48751/CAM-2015-4267https://doi.org/10.48751/CAM-2015-4267Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal; No. 4 (2015): Ceuta Lisboa 600 years; 155-182Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal; Núm. 4 (2015): Ceuta Lisboa 600 años; 155-182Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal; No 4 (2015): Ceuta Lisbonne 600 ans; 155-182Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal; N.º 4 (2015): Ceuta Lisboa 600 anos; 155-1822183-3176reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://cadernosarquivo.cm-lisboa.pt/index.php/am/article/view/267https://cadernosarquivo.cm-lisboa.pt/index.php/am/article/view/267/224Direitos de Autor (c) 2015 Diana Rafaela Martins Pereirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPereira, Diana Rafaela Martins2023-04-22T08:30:46Zoai:ojscadernosarquivo.cm-lisboa.pt:article/267Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:50:07.682256Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
