Faith for the Divine Pastor.
Souce
In Venezuela, on January 14th day where one of the largest processions occurs and for that reason I have come to the obelisk, the site where this procession begins or rather a marathon of approximately 7 kilometers to reach Santa Rosa, the place where the divine shepherd practically moves towards what has been the cathedral.
On January 14 a day in which a complete city is paralyzed and united in a single cause, something little seen in different parts of the world and I assure you something totally original a day in which the entire city of Barquisimeto is completely paralyzed, where you can see the streets of the early morning full of many people, collaborating giving water, fruits, food and especially smiles for all those who with good energies carry out this gigantic walk and who would say it walking through the streets of Venezuela at hours of the at dawn something that sounds like complete madness becomes a reality.
It is a very interesting event because it is the 164th visit of the divine shepherdess, it is said all this is the largest Marian procession in the world, in fact it competes against that of Portugal and the Mexican.
Once arriving in Santa Rosa, there are many people, it is estimated that by 2016, 4 million people visited this place, we will see how many people more or less per day approached that day.
And this was as close as you are to the Divine pastor.
I hope that people know and attend this procession, and enjoy in this place the history of the procession that goes back many years, we are talking about 1850 or so, where a father wanted to stop almost a cholera crisis that had Throughout the city, which affected all the Barquisimetans and precisely when this occurs, it is offered to be the last person with anger is a request that he makes to the virgin reason why he turned out to be the last person with anger as he says history can see that then this is a form of gratitude that people have in Barquisimeto for simply thanking the fact that there was no more anger.
On average, every year there are 2 million people who come but the marathon are
Some people, that is, it's not about everyone, it's about 40,000 people between 20,000 and 40,000, and that's exactly what we can see.
The virgin of Santa Rosa is going to be visiting different churches throughout the year so that Palm Sunday returns, there are 164 years that the divine shepherd has been traveling through the streets.
