The origin of Macarena was Macarenus,which was a name of a Roman citizen, a landowner in Seville before The Middle Agde.

The virgin Mary held in such regard because people have their hopes on her. No one can live without hope and no one needs hope more than the poverty people.Jesus is not held in such regard because he is male God.
It is easier for people whether males or females to be intimacy and to confide with a female God than a male God. Females represent sweet,soft,love,caring,forgiveness,sympathy,and feedback.Moreover,the role of mother from the virgin Mary reinforces people absolute faiths on her. Weused to request things we need from our mothers, not from our father.

No one knows for sure the origin of la Macarena. There is a legend that it is the work of the 17th century sculptor La Roldana.

IN REGARDS TO THE VIRGIN MARY i WAS OF THE BELIEF THAT MARY APPEARED TO A PEASANT IN THE FIFTEEN HUNDREDS AND HE SPOKE OF THIS VISION WHICH WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAVING MANY LIVES. BECAUSE THE SPAINISH THOUGHT THE MIDDLE AMERICANS TO BE LESS AND FORSAKEN BY BY GOD. i THOUGHT THIS IS WHAT GAVE HER SO MUCH IMPORTANCE.
