The landlady of Zulia


In the month of November, the celebration held in honor of the Chinita is for this reason that during these days, the bagpipe sounds with particular frenzy and joy throughout the Zulia. Of the many festivals in honor of the Virgin, perhaps the most impressive is the so-called Sunrise Piper, in which the people of Maracaibo is assembled on the morning of day 18 in the plaza of the Basilica, to sing to and Mañanitas Chinita Happy Birthday.

Maracaibo authorities decided to hold a procession in honor of the Chinita. Legend has it that the Virgin was carried on the shoulders of two men chosen by the Governor.

Our Lady of Chiquinquirá, dear Chinita, protected from the temple, basilica today, the people of Zulia.
