A group of bloggers is demanding the beatification of the late Spanish singer Rocío Jurado, who passed away after a bout with cancer last month, according to Spain’s 20 Minutos newspaper:
The blog http://rocio-jurado-santa.blogspot.com/ has opened up debate about “la más grande” whom it describes as an exceptional singer that has inspired such artistic devotion, the intensity of which is comparable only to spiritual devotion.
