As you know we are many we are millions of Venezuelans who have had to leave our country in a forced way we are not used to emigrate the Venezuelan was always happy within its borders, but the situation led many of us to make this decision and we take with us our traditions our feelings we do not want to impose them, but we want to share them because it is something that we celebrate with great joy our bagpipes and our songs are prayers to Jesus and his mother.

Then we met in groups of Zulianos, we also incorporated Colombians who want to share our faith towards the Virgin of Chiquinquira and we organized ourselves in a Foundation called Chiquinquireños in Soacha, Soacha is a municipality that I know is within Cundinamarca and close to Bogota, but there a large number of Venezuelans congregate, we were preparing this since last year organizing ourselves in coordinations making meetings of logistics of liturgy and servers for now we are expanding our field of action.

Sorry compete was yesterday Saturday, because the time set to start work at 10 am I was presented with the 1000 and some inconveniences to get to that time I had many small problems that were solved, but that made me late arrival time I arrived at 2 pm, But even though I arrived very late, I had time to collaborate in what I could organize, to fine tune the last details, to place and arrange the altar because it is a party, it is the symbolic meeting of our mother with her people, it is like when you go to receive your mother after a long time, you clean the house, you place your best curtains, you clean the carpet and you receive her with much affection, my love.

Of course we had a special guest, the priest who was going to officiate the Mass belongs to the Archdiocese of Merida and is on loan here to the Archdiocese of Bogota and he was very happy to preside over this celebration we were very organized and we tried to make sure that the details were as minimal as possible, the decoration, the ornamentation, the order in which the program was to be carried out and everything was carried out to the fullest, leaving a beautiful and beautiful celebration. It is very important that in spite of the smallest details the decoration, the ornamentation, the order of the program and everything was carried out to the fullest leaving a beautiful celebration worthy of the chinita and shall share this faith and this devotion is very important because even though it has its opposites it is something more like traditional or traditions, because they are preserved from generation to generation.

Of course as a zuliano as a maracaibero we have the music rooted in our DNA and in any corner and anywhere we will get a person who plays tambora, who plays furro, who plays charrasco, We all got together and formed the gaiteros of the Chiquinquireños de Soacha who rehearsed hard so that the celebration would be very well. We performed a Zulian mass, all the songs were in gaita, it was truly a beautiful celebration, the Colombians were missed, but as the priest says we are exporting the devotion and perhaps this was the mission why so many of us are outside our borders.

Because it is joy our songs and gaitas are for celebration of celebration in fact we were invited for a novena mass here we do not do aguinaldo masses we do novena, but we are going to sing it with the Venezuelan aguinaldos in gaitas and of course they are very happy because the joy entered with our spirit and our desire to share something very much of us very much ours the celebration was very beautiful here I am going to show you some videos so you can appreciate a little of the work we did and how beautiful the celebration was.
