CARTAGO CEN. PARAISO TRES RIOS TURRIALBA                                          

Every 2nd day of August, a major celebration is held in all of Costa Rica for The Virgin Of Los Angeles. The caravan begins in the most remote places of this country, and by the exact time on August 2nd, the exhausted followers, our Catholic citizens, are in the Cartago's Los Angeles Capilla for their trust in healing of their hurting..or perhaps someone they know and love to be cured and healed forever. They pray all day long and many have slept at Cartago, and this tradition for Costa Rica is called "The Romeria del Dos de Agosto". Many people can buy the Spiritual Water at the church sites, and so many even have traveled from all 5 Continents to be there this particular day.
Now, that is real faith in the Lord's Mother,The Virgin Mary. It is just like refreshing their faith and healing pain and being forgiven, for a new opportunity for a better life and getting more strength for years to come. This is Costa Rica, a Country full of surprises and beliefs, It is a country with real true feelings and without covers, with people that give their trust without asking anything in return. Welcome to Costa Rica and Please be between us and get to know our style of life.
 

A very long time ago, my mother took me to the Cartago's church " Iglesia De Los Angeles" and , she said to me..."Son, I want you to enter in the church in your knees". When I saw the length of the aisle to the altar, I thought, "Umm, maybe I can't do this". But I did. For a while my mother prayed and then she said to me, "Son, lets go underneath the stairs, and when I saw the thousands of gold offerings that were given to the Virgin for proof of faith in order for the visitor to get their needs to be met, I then asked, "Mama, what is this about?", and she said..."Shhh, don't ask, I will tell you later while we travel back home". But, I never knew what it was, until I was older, and my mother was not in this world anymore. It was about believing, having faith, and praying to the Virgin Mary..and feeling better and not holding anymore pain caused by our attachments to material things because the brightness of gold was pulling me away from God. I understand now, Mama, Thank You!  Para Español Use El traductor Por favor.
