Chlieans are in the midst of the novena leading up to the Feast of its Patroness, la Virgen del Carmen. This image of the Virgen is at la Parroquia del Sagrario, connected to the Metropolitan Cathedral in Santiago. On April 18, 2008, attacked the image and it burned. Careful restoration brought it to current appearance.
