Exhibit Continues of 18th-century Icon at Adobe Chapel
When SOHO arranged to borrow a rare, venerated religious statue that originally graced the Presidio chapel, our staff knew that San Diegans and visitors alike would be pleased and inspired by her homecoming. Known as the Immaculata, a lovely polychrome and gilded figure depicting Mary as the Immaculate Conception, represents San Diego's early but nearly forgotten patroness of the city, presidio and port. Carved about 250 years ago, the imposing, four-foot-statue has returned temporarily to the Adobe Chapel altar in honor of San Diego's 250th year.
