Detail of the image of Our Lady of Oh or of the Expectation
In the gilded wood altar of the central nave, one can see one of the most worshipped figures of the city of Évora.
It is known as Lady of Ó, due to its sizeable position of a pregant lady, showing her prominently enlarged womb.
There is a long tradition of having the bells of the Cathedral rung every time a woman gives birth to a child.
It is a beautiful 15th century Gothic sculpture in stone, with a solemn aspect, worthy of a Queen.
