Señor
de Muruhuay Festival
Location: Acobamba (Junín)
Date: May 3
Left to their fate by officials of the vice-regency,
those sick with smallpox (muru: smallpox, huay: house)
were allegedly healed by an image of Christ that took
shape on a stone slab at the foot of Mount Shalacoto
(2,959 meters above sea level), and has remained there
ever since. This spot, located in the district of
Acobamba, 12 km from the town of Tarma in the department
of Junín, is Peru's foremost pilgrimage center. The
celebration of this image abounds in pre-Hispanic rites
dominated by elements such as water, earth and stone.
Today, the worship rituals begin the night before with a
fireworks display. On the main day, after a Mass held in
Quechua, the devout deposit a "letter to God".
Then everyone returns to Tarma in a procession headed by
the mayordomo (the organizer of the festivities), his
wife and troupes of dancers including the caracolillos
and negritos, who compete in dances such as the
abrecalle and the chutos.
After the dancing, everyone settles down to lunch
featuring typical Andean dishes such as fried guinea pig
served with peanuts and beans. Over the following days,
the locals dance the famous chonguinada in the streets
of Acobamba, that have been carpeted in flower petals.
