Also means
religious vow
Usage Note
Manda has two main senses: in law it is a legacy or bequest left in a will, synonymous with legado; in Latin American popular religion it refers to a personal vow made to a saint, often accompanied by a pilgrimage or act of penance to fulfil it. These senses are regionally skewed — the religious meaning is far more common in Mexico and Central America.
Examples
"Cumplió la manda que prometió a la Virgen."
Natural Translation
She fulfilled the vow she had made to the Virgin.
