Virgen de Chapi Festival
Location: Chapi (Arequipa)
Date: May 1
Every year, thousands of pilgrims cross the desert from
the city of Arequipa to the sanctuary of Chapi to
worship the image of the Virgin of Purification, today
known as the Virgen de Chapi.
In 1,790, the parish priest of Pocsi, Juan de Dios José
Tamayo, tried to move the small image to another
community and failed, reportedly because the statue
suddenly became too heavy to move.
News of the miracle spread like wildfire, and today the
faithful take around 15 hours to walk 45 km through the
night, leaning on rustic walking staffs to reach the
deserted spot located at 2,420 meters above sea level.
Before the first stop, the pilgrims gather stones of
varying sizes which they will leave at Tres Cruces next
to the road, forming the so-called apachetas which
symbolize the weariness and sins that the faithful leave
behind them.
The same thing occurs at Alto de Hornilla and then at
Siete Toldos, 15 km from the spot, with countless
candles flickering in the night. The following day, in
Chapi, the virgin is borne aloft in a procession over
carpets of flower petals. At night, next to the
sanctuary, pilgrims set off fireworks and sell
foodstuffs. |
