A large statue of the Virgin Mary holding a baby Jesus stands on Santa Barbara hill overlooking the mining city of Oruro, Bolivia, as it is unveiled for the first time on Friday, Feb. 1, 2013. The virgin, known in Spanish as "Virgen del Socavon," or the Virgin of the Tunnel, is Oruro's patron, venerated in particular by miners and folkloric Carnival dancers. The statue's inauguration marks the start of Carnival in Oruro, which coincides with celebrations honoring the Virgin that starts on Saturday, Bolivia's largest religious event.
