💨 Abstract

Caretakers at a Spanish church resigned after a controversial restoration of the Virgin Mary statue, beloved by worshippers in Seville. The statue’s eyelashes were lengthened, her skin tone changed, and her dress details were altered, sparking outrage. Thousands gathered outside the Basilica, singing hymns and demanding resignations. The restoration leader, Professor Arquillo, is blamed for the botched job. The basilica closed, and experts are now analyzing the damage.
