| Fotos de la entrada de la Virgen de la Caridad a Camaguey
(la Virgen Mambisa). Desde el ano pasado esta recorriendo toda
la isla para celebrar otra aniversario de haber sido encontrada
en el mar. Se supone que las visitas de la virgen terminen en el
2021. Esta no es la estatua que esta en el Santuario del Cobre,
sino una que fue confeccionada luego para acompanar a los
mambises durante la guerra y que luego fue llevada en hombros
tras la victoria. Ironicamente, fue la que trajeron los rebeldes
en hombros recorriendo la isla en 1959. Photos of the entrance in Camaguey of a statue of the Virgin
of Charity (la Virgen Mambisa). Since last year (2010), the
statue is being taken from town to town to celebrate the 400th
anniversary of the original statue having been found at sea. It
is assumed that the visitations will end in 2012. This statue is
the one that was created to accompany the "mambises" (the
soldiers who fought against Spain) and that was later carried on
their shoulders upon their victory. Ironically, this is the same
statue that was carried by the "rebels" when they were
victorious in 1959. |
