Abstract
This paper presents the story of a painting of the “Virgin of the Holy Hand”, which the people of Guayaquil were very devoted for four centuries, until 1902, when a major re in the city reduced it to ashes. Around the image were generated stories, legends, devotions, etc. that the city lost in that re. Despite this, we are currently trying to rescue the history of the image, as discussed in this article of a more historical point of view, which makes use of Spanish and American sources. This is a historical study, chronologically exposed. After a brief introduction, the history of the image is analyzed from its creation in the sixteenth century to its disappearance in 1902, and the e orts made to rescue it in the last century. The paper ends with a brief conclusion.
