Well, November is closed so that’s why I’m going to talk a bit about our celebrations.

Each November we celebrate the first appear of the Virgen de la Chinita, Ok maybe you are thinking who is that virgin? well, in 1709 a woman who used to washed clothes in the Maracaibo’s lake once while she was washing clothes she saw a kind of table which had nothing special but she picked it up because she thought It could work for covering a jar of water and she took it home. The next day while the woman was making some coffee she heard a weird sound it was like a voice calling her then she turned around and watched that the table was shining and also an image was appearing in the table, the woman got surprise and couldn’t believe what had happened, then she said to her friends and neighbors all what had happened, all the people wanted to see the miracle and went to the woman’s house and in that way her house became a holy place.

That’s why we celebrate every year proving our devotion to our virgin. Also, we listen to Gaita songs, that make us remember our virgin
