Picture an Older Kitchen In This town Costarican

 

Esta es una casa muy antigua junto al parque de la muy hermosa Santa Cruz.
An old and antique house at the park's corner.

A pesar de ser una ciudad de gente muy especial y humanitaria, ellos aun se mantienen marginados por los turistas, pues todo el turismo va hacia las playas y el centro no desarroya, Los Santa Cruceños son puros y sinceros, me manifestaron por alla en Santa Cruz algunos vecinos.
Pocas oportunidades de progreso se presentan para ellos. Pero la fe es algo que ha nacido y crece siempre en sus corazones, celebran y respetan las creencias religiosas como una parte de su constante vivir.
Hijos de Españoles y Aborigenas combinan muy bien la armonia entre estas dos culturas. Vive entre ellos el constante sonreir de alegria que al parecer les da el Santo Cristo de Esquipulas, como una esperanza que al llegar el año con un 14 de enero una celebracion nueva y asi con auguria se sienten positivos ante todos los problemas que les rodea.



Even if the Santa Cruz's citizens are a very humanitarian and special, they are still forgotten by the tourism, because all of the national and international, tourists are going to the beach sites, leaving the downtown without development. De " Santa Cruzceños" are sincere and pure, some neighbors have told us when we visited them. A small progress in opportunities are present for them. But the faith is something that was born and it will remain in their hearts for ever. They celebrate and respect their religious believes as their ongoing living.
Spaniards and Aboriginals, combining very well the two cultures in harmonically. It lives between them the permanent smiling, provided by their Christ (Saint Idol or The Black Christ). As a hope when the 14 of January arrives, the new celebration and just like that, they will become more positive and overcome all their inconveniences of the new year, until the next time.

Esta foto demuestra que los niños quieren darnos a los Costarricenses una leccion, algo asi como vivir en paz y armonia con la naturaleza y conserbando nuestras tradiciones, esta al costado del parque. Pero de donde vino el nombre Santa Cruz?
 Seria que alguien tenia una cruz parecida a la de Jesus Cristo en la casa o simplemente una historia mas de COSTA RICA... Un vecino por alla en esa Ciudad nos conto paulatinamente que la historia fue escrita por Españoles del siglo 15 al 17 y que esactamente no se sabe cuales fueron los nombres, pero comienza asi.... Despues de que los españoles saquearon todo el oro de los Aborigenas del area, un buen Samaritano " Cura" decidio colocar una Cruz en donde hoy esta la Iglesia Catolica y con el tiempo los aborigenas se acercaban a convertirse a la fe catolica de Cristo, cuenta el vecino que La cruz ni era de gran tamaño, sino simplemente una cruz. y como parece finalmente crecio un pueblo. Si se quedo de nombre.

Picture of An Imagination children canoe! The Santa Cruz's Children have painted  for our Costa Rica a beautiful lesson,  something meaning like,  to live with Peace and Harmony.

But why the Santa Cruz's name?
Maybe someone had a Christ statue like in their home or just one more of the Costa Rican's stories.. A neighbor over there  in that city, has told us in a slowly manner that the story was written by the Spaniards in between 15 and 17 centuries and exactly not one new their names, but it begins like this... After the Spaniards took out all the Santa Cruz's (Local Aborigines ) gold belongings,  a good man ( Priest ) decided to place a Big Cruz, in the same place of today's Catholic church. And as the time went by, the Aborigines came alone and got converted to the Catholic Christ's faith. Told the neighbor that the Cruz was not that much big and as we can see finally a town was born. Yes it kept the name Santa Cruz.

Eran hombres, mujeres y niños que no tenian que ser de ninguna manera descriminados por ser diferentes, y quizas por tratar de defender su tierra, los Aborigenas de Costa Rica, quienes perdieron lo mas preciado, sus vidas en la manos de criminales llegados de España en tiempo de la colonia.
Esta estatua nos recuerda lo que muchos Costarricense nunca vimos, un Cacique Indio " Cacique Diria" un hombre de caracter y de mando, un verdadero Costarricense sin cedula de identidad, que comandaba tribus y daba ordenes, que lucho contra los Españoles para defender a Costa Rica, un Heroe.
A hombres como estos son  a los que nosotros debemos parte de nuestra identidad y libertad. Se comvierte El gran Jefe indio Cacique Dira en el primer Costarricense en comandar el territorio de Guanacasteco.

The Image Of The Statue picture of the Commander and Chief with great rank, Costa Rican, Location at The central Park of That Historical City.

They were just men and women with their children, with not differences and they did not deserved to be discriminated by the Spaniards, the way they were. Or maybe because they tried to preserve their territory. The Costa Rica's Aborigines, who lost the most precious, their lives in the criminals that came from Spain in colony times.  This statue does make us to remember, those that many Costa Ricans never have seen " An Indian Cacique " or The big Both Indian. (With Dignity In The territory of a chief or cacique Dira ), el Cacique, a man of character and leadership, a true Costa Rican, without an ID. He commanded big villas or tribes, and gave orders, he fought the Spaniards to defend his land and territory, a true hero.
To men as him, are those people we owe our identity and freedom. Becomes The Grand Chief Dira the first national with Command and leadership for the state.


Aqui sobran las palabras, se sabe que un vecino de Santa Cruz encontro este Cristo Negro y que en la Iglesia Catolica hoy descansa, aunque casi todo el año viaja por las vecindades para recoger la Limosna en miras del progreso de Santa Cruz.
Cuenta la legenda que algo terrible ocurrio en la Iglesia y por ende a toda la nacion tambien...Una vecina conto esta historia. Un dia como cualquiera un loco, tambien vecino de esta ciudad, quien definitivamente no estaba bien de la cabeza, se metio en la Iglesia y portando erramientas del papa, golpeo y destruyo casi todas las estatuas de las celebraciones de principio de año, incluyendo La eattua existente, y fue tan grande el desastre que tubieron que enviar los pedazos a un experto para la reconstruccion.

Here we become speechless, it's known that a Santa Cruz's neighbor found a black Christ, and that it's resting inside the Catholic church in Santa Cruz, even when he travels almost the hole year around town, and the people give some money, putting it into his small box, for helping to progress of Santa Cruz's poor.
The story says, that  a terrible accident one day did happen  in the Santa Cruz's Catholic church and also in the hole nation too! A lady neighbor told us the story... A day as any other, a Crazy and disturbed man, who always was fooling around and just his head was not right, he went into the church and with his father's tools, who was a mechanic or some, he smashed so hard the The Statue, and all the other statues, those neighbors need to celebrate the new year, and caused to them the investment to pay a professional to rebuilt it.


Creo que a Santa Cruz le basta y le es suficiente con saber que mañana habra un mejor dia, pues ese es el deseo de casi todos los vecinos. y asi rogar a al santo, es solo nada mas de pedirle, pues la Iglesia siempre esta abierta al publico. Con el despleigue de nuestras paginas esta ciudad se convertira en la ciudad de Costa Rica con mas rango Sagrado.

I believe that Santa Cruz has enough with the thought to know of tomorrow will be a new better day, that is whish of almost all it's  habitants and to ask to the Santa Cruz's Saint or The Black Christ america, is matter of just ask.

Inside the church pictures, left and right, show the reality of the Costa Rican believes about their own faith, so you arrived to this webpage for information about our things and style of life, gets what, this is it, we have it and we share it too.
 

Ciudad de eventos con toros y hombres ganaderos es lo que pudimos percibir, cuando miramos este monumento en la entrada del parque.

City with great events with Raging Bulls festivals and cowboys, is what we did felt when we saw the park's entrance.  Pictures at the park.

The commerce's are spread out all over, it is a fact that it will grow up and that also most of international business community will apply to invest at this great city, we all know already that the presence of many great hotels located at tamarindo beach, playa samara, coyote, panama, coco beach, hermosa beach and the famous international liberia air port, at only 1 hour from here. the development is something seriously and eminently happening right today.

Un Quiosco muy peculiar esta en el centro del parque, como para estarse un rato a descansar, pero con tendencia a el arte Indígena.

A solo unos bloques de la Corte en Santa Cruz centro se encuentra lo que un dia fue una lecheria, o mejor dicho el lugar donde se ordeñaban las vacas para proveer leche a los vecinos.
  Felicidades Santa Cruz, pues yo encontre un cafe capuccino ( capuchino café ) en unos de sus negocios que también venden pollo frito y me gusto mucho. Una chica joven y muy bonita me atendió y con la mas hermosa sonrisa, parecía que sabia quien era yo., me pregunto si yo era un... Extrangero y en sus ojos mire la paz, la sinceridad verdadera, caracteristica de una  " Tica hermosa", yo respondí claro que si,  "maje" " pura vida " y entoces ella me regalo una mejor sonrisa.

A small monument usually has been made mostly at the middle of each park in Costa Rica, this one is " El kiosco ", just to take a small break, with a special touch from Aborigines for a best attraction .
why we have chosen this famous typical city? the truth is that we can't talk about past and history of a so magnificent country, if for instance we have not visited the most aboriginal habituated town ever, these country has many cities and places that meet those requirements, but this town is second to none the best of The pacific.
 

Casa Tipica del centro

Old Typical house picture at down town

Manifestó y no pude confirmar que se planea la destrucción de este monumento de origen de la colonia y con un toque religioso. También la vecina dijo que la cúpula se cayo en tiempo de temblores hace varios años. Pero que bello reloj y que especial construcción, a quien se le ocurrió ese estilo... a quienes se uso para construirlo, quien sabrá la respuesta?  

The tower best camera Picture, and finger print of colony in the province guanacaste

I admitted that I couldn't confirm that is a project already approved to destroy this monument, originated from the Colonials and with a strong touch of Catholic faith. Also a neighbor lady told me us that the tower is not complete, because it did suffer an impact caused from an earthquake years ago and some from the top came down.
What a beautiful Clock so a special construction is this one, who thought to make this style... To who did they use during the construction?, who will have the right answer about it?.

Esta estatua esta situada en una de las esquinas del parque y escuche que simplemente representa la mujer sencilla de Santa Cruz sosteniendo una Cruz Santa.

This Monument is located in one of the Park corners.

Desde largo se divisa la torre de la Iglesia antigua.

A view to the old Catholic Church Tower at the downtown.

Cuando mire esta belleza del Arte Religioso, yo no sabia que podría ser así y pregunte a una persona, la respuesta fue " es La Santísima Trinidad "., pero yo no sabia eso que y cuantos milagros habrá hecho a los vecinos de Santa Cruz.
Que bella Imagen y que bello material, el arte y lo que representa, lo mas poderoso. 

When I saw the Religious Art, I did not know that it can be like this, and I asked to a person inside the church, what is it?. The lady's answer was.. " This is the Saint Trinity" , But I did not ever imagined that, and how many peoples miracles in Santa Cruz, it has done so far!!!
What a beautiful Image and the representation of it. The most powerful.

La Corte Suprema de Justicia, si Esta Ciudad tiene una y esta muy céntrica, Sus Gentes No Necesitan Viajar para Questiones De Abogados Y casos Legales Hasta Liberia.

At just a couple blocks of Santa Cruz's Court this building is located, Someone told us that it was time far ago a milking place. That the owner had a big and productive farm. Or better we say the place was for the caws to be worked, and them a distribution of the product to neighbors.
Congratulations, because I have found a Chicken place to eat and a cappuccino coffee in one of your business, I did like it a lot.
Specially a young and beautiful lady, who served me, with a great smile. She knew who I was, and she asked me ... are you an alien (person from another land )?  when into her eyes I saw the peace and true sincerity, characteristic of a Beautiful Costa Rican Girl and sweet. I answered sure, of course " Mae" " Pura Vida" and then she gave me a better smile.
