Iglesia de la Divina Pastora - Motril, Granada, España - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"La iglesia de la Divina Pastora, también conocida coloquialmente como iglesia de los Capuchinos, es una parroquia situada en la ciudad granadina de Motril.

En 1641, se estableció en Motril la orden religiosa de los capuchinos y se inició así la construcción de un nuevo convento en la ciudad en 1652, a pesar de la oposición de franciscanos y frailes mínimos de la Victoria, que eran las dos órdenes religiosas de la ciudad. Estas obras finalizaron en el 1656; el resultado fue un templo caracterizado por su pobreza y extrema sencillez, y formado por una única nave.

Antiguo convento de capuchinos, la iglesia sirve de ayuda a la parroquial desde mediados del siglo xix.

La parroquia celebra la Semana Santa motrileña3? con dos figuras que bendicen las calles cada Sábado Santo; a saber, el Santísimo Cristo Yacente y la Virgen de la Soledad, que son titulares de la cofradía de Nuestra Señora de la Soledad y del Santísimo Cristo Yacente.
