History
The history of the Sanctuary and Parish of the Señor de las Angustias is deeply intertwined with the founding and development of the town of Rincón de Romos. As early as the 17th century, the first inhabitants of what was then the Rincón Hacienda established a small chapel to serve the community’s spiritual needs. With the growth of the settlement and the rising devotion to the image of the Señor de las Angustias, it became necessary to build a larger, more fitting church to accommodate the faithful.
Over time, the venerated image of the *Señor de las Angustias* became the municipality’s principal religious symbol. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the growing influx of pilgrims spurred the expansion and beautification of the sanctuary, which adopted a predominantly Neoclassical style. Faith and popular traditions established the site as one of the most important religious centers in northern Aguascalientes, serving as a gathering place for thousands of believers from various regions of the country.
Every year in January, the traditional patronal festivities in honor of the *Señor de las Angustias* (Lord of Anguish) take place—one of the state’s oldest and most emblematic religious observances. Pilgrimages, novenas, processions, and liturgical celebrations bring the streets of Rincón de Romos to life, strengthening a devotion that has been passed down from generation to generation.
