National Celebration: Feria de la Chinita


According to the tradition of Zulia, Maracaibo La Chinita reached the waves of the lake. The story goes that one day in 1749, just a simple woman washing clothes on the shores of Lake Maracaibo, when suddenly he saw floating a thin wooden board, which picked up thinking it might be useful to hide the jar of water that was in the corridor of his house. The next morning, when I was brewing coffee, she heard a pounding like someone was calling. He went to see what was happening and was overwhelmed with amazement at the glowing planchette and it appeared the image of Our Lady of Chiquinquirá.
Since November 18 is particularly welcomes the maximum party that pays tribute to the patron saint of Zulia, is undoubtedly one of the best holidays in Venezuela.
