Corpus
Christi
Location: Cusco
Date: June (Movable feast)
The festival of Corpus Christi has been celebrated all
over Peru since colonial times, but reaches a high point
in Cuzco.
Fifteen saints and virgins from various districts are
borne in a procession to the Cathedral where they "greet"
the body of Christ embodied in the Sacred Host, kept in
a fabulous gold goblet weighing 26 kilos and standing
1.2 meters high.
Sixty days after Easter Sunday, the members of each
nearby church bear their patron saint in a procession to
the chimes of the María Angola, Peru's largest church
bell, forged in a copper-gold alloy in the sixteenth
century by local artisan Diego Arias de Cerda.
At night everyone gathers together, for an overnight
vigil, where typical dishes such as chiriuchu (spicy
guinea pig), beer, chicha and cornbread are served.
At dawn the procession sets off around the main square,
bearing the images of five virgins clad in richly
embroidered tunics, plus the images of four saints:
Sebastian, Blas, Joseph and the Apostle Santiago (Saint
James) mounted on a beautiful white horse.
Then the saints enter the Cathedral to receive homage,
time after which representatives and authorities from
various communities of Cuzco meet in the main square to
discuss local affairs. Finally, the delegations return
to the churches amidst hymns and prayers. |
