The hermitage is home to the Virgin of El Rocío ( Virgen del Rocío), a small, much-venerated carved wood statue, and is the destination of an annual procession/pilgrimage on the second day of the Pentecost, known as the Romería de El Rocío, connected to the veneration of the Virgin of El Rocío. In recent years the Romería has brought together roughly a million pilgrims each year.
