L’articolo esamina la commemorazione del 1950 della Giornata della Galizia in Argentina e Spagna, soffermandosi sul significato simbolico che acquisì nei due Paesi, che si trovavano in situazioni politiche diverse. Mentre la celebrazione di Buenos Aires era ispirata al tema dell’esilio seguito all’instaurazione della dittatura franchista, a Santiago de Compostela fu centrale il contenuto religioso e liturgico che circonda la figura di San Giacomo il Grande, con riferimento alla fedeltà della Chiesa Cattolica al regime franchista. Pertanto, esamineremo l’identità simbolica della poetessa Rosalía de Castro sulla base delle due celebrazioni, dei simboli ai quali la sua figura fu associata e della sua sacralizzazione. Il lavoro si basa su periodici come Galicia, organo del Centro Gallego de Buenos Aires, e quotidiani di Santiago come Correo Gallego and La Noche, nonché sulla corrispondenza scambiata con i collaboratori di questi giornali da Luis Seoane, un intellettuale esiliato a Buenos Aires. En este trabajo se analiza la conmemoración del Día de Galicia en 1950 en Argentina y España, y el significado simbólico que adquiere en estos dos países, que atravesaban diferentes circunstancias políticas. Mientras que la celebración porteña se inspira en el tema del exilio tras la dictadura franquista, en Santiago de Compostela destaca el contenido litúrgico y religioso que rodea la exaltación del Apóstol Santiago, y se basa en la fidelidad existente de la Iglesia católica al régimen de Franco. En este contexto, el artículo profundiza en la identidad simbólica de la poeta Rosalía de Castro en ambas conmemoraciones, los símbolos a los que fue asociada y la consagración de su figura. El trabajo toma como punto de partida la revista Galicia - Órgano de Casa Centro Gallego de Buenos Aires - y los diarios El Correo Gallego y La Noche, de Santiago de Compostela, así como la correspondencia que Luis Seoane, intelectual exiliado en Buenos Aires, intercambiara con algunos de los colaboradores de esas publicaciones.
