Virgen del Rosario Festival
Location: Lima, Ancash, Apurímac, Arequipa and Cusco
Date: October 4
The Virgen del Rosario is the patron saint of the
Dominican Order, who were in charge of the slave
brotherhoods in colonial times. This is why the image of
the saint is often accompanied by an icon featuring the
letter "S" pinned on by a nail, symbolizing the black
slaves. Worship of the saint dates back to 1 536, and
the festival is celebrated all over Peru. On the first
Sunday of October, in Cajatambo, in the highlands of the
department of Lima, the locals hold an agricultural
fair, bullfights, marinera competitions and a procession
featuring Los Diablos (demons) as the main dance act.
In the district of Urcos, in the province of
Quispicanchis, as well as in Combate and Checaupe, in
the province of Canchis, department of Cusco, locals
celebrate the date with processions, bullfights and
pachamancas, a dish prepared in underground pits and
cooked over hot stones.
The center of all Virgen del Rosario celebrations
however is the northern Andean department of Ancash. The
celebrations are highlighted by the presence of pallas,
ladies dressed in costumes with wide sleeves and tall
crowns of flowers, and the famous negritos, dancers
dressed in black wool masks who liven up the celebration.
This festival features a symbolic confrontation between
the Moors, locals dressed in Andean costume, and the
Christians, who are dressed in Spanish outfits harking
back to colonial times. The battle ends when the Moorish
kings, having been vanquished and taken prisoner, repent
and beg to be converted to Christianity. As dusk falls,
the virgin's procession sets off back to church,
accompanied by bands of musicians. |
