Title: Marriage of Rodrigo and Ximena
Period: 1900-1950;
Geographic: Spain
Description: Rodrigo and Ximena are married. This image shows the procession out of the church following the wedding with the two leading the way. They are followed by the bishop who presided over the service as well as several other clergymen, one of whom holds a processional cross while another holds a banner. This marriage was considered surprising, as Rodrigo had previously killed Ximena’s father in a duel, but in order to end the feud they married.
