Proper names, pictorial decoration in the houses, books and legal clauses allude to a constant presence of the supernatural in the daily life ot the Castilians during the Ancien Regime. A lot of names of women, paintings and testamery clauses refer to the Virgin; there are a lot of men with names based on the names of the Twelve Apostles.
