En la ciudad argentina de San Nicolás de los Arroyos se ha desarrollado desde 1983 el culto a una imagen de la Virgen del Rosario con creciente convocatoria, coincidiendo su consolidación y crecimiento con un período de significativas transformaciones socioeconómicas para la ciudad. En este trabajo recorro la trayectoria de la devoción atendiendo a dos aspectos: los distintos actores que en ella intervinieron y las reconfiguraciones identitarias que acompañaron su devenir. Recurriendo a la indagación histórica y etnográfica, se exploran los significados que el culto ha recibido y se analiza cómo ha operado el símbolo religioso en el singular contexto de la sociedad nicoleña. A devoção crescente de uma imagem da Virgem do Rosário iniciou-se em 1983, na cidade argentina de San Nicolás de los Arroyos, e sua consolidação e crescimento acontecem em um período de mudanças sócio-econômicas significativas para a cidade. Neste trabalho, percorro a trajetória da devoção por meio de dois elementos: os atores envolvidos e as reconfigurações identitárias que acompanharam a sua evolução. Ao utilizar o inquérito histórico e etnográfico, exploro os significados que o culto tem recebido e analiso a maneira como se operou o símbolo religioso no âmbito singular da sociedade nicoleña.
