Chilean
celebration
One of the most important religious
festivities in the south of Chile is the
festivity of Nazareno del Caguach. It takes place in Chiloé, on an island so small
that it doesn´t appear on maps. People can reach it after two hours of
navigation from Achao, or they can take a boat that leaves at around six in the
morning from Dalcahue.
The first traditional celebration began in 1778 when a
Franciscan missionary, Hilario Martinez, brought the image of Jesus of Nazareth
from Spain and five communities of the island began to adore with special
devotion.
In 1919, a big fire damaged almost all
the church but the community managed to rescue the original image.
In 1925, the five communities of the
island finished the construction of the present temple which is today part of
the World Heritage. Since then, people celebrate the important festivity every
August 30 and also on the third Sunday of January, in the summer version of the
festivity.
The celebrations begin at 11 in the
morning with a mass outside the church, accompanied by traditional music and
singing. After lunch, there is a procession. Local people take the statues and
religious figures from the church and parade them around the town.
