Camino Photo of the Day: Another Anonymous Saint

Although I took many photos of the exterior of the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Manzano in Castrojeriz, this is the last I shall post for now. I don’t know the identity of this female saint, but I thought it appropriate to post for the feast of one of the Church’s greatest female saints, Mary Magdalene. Whoever this saint is, she’s neither the Magdalene nor the church’s titular saint, the Blessed Virgin Mary. The missing hand and whatever it held is an issue for using the statue’s iconography to identify its subject. In her remaining hand, she holds a book. Who is she?
