The story of the apparition of the Virgin of Chiquinquirá, our beloved Chinita patron and protector of Maracaibo, is famous. 

The year of 1749 when a small table appeared on the beaches of Lake Maracaibo, a
humble old lady who washed clothes on its banks, took her to her
house and in his home it was useful as a lid for a jar of
water.


On November 18, the old lady observed how the tablet
was agitating and throwing flashes of light, giving way to the apparition of Our Lady


Before such a majestic apparition of Our Lady, the Blessed
Mother, Our Lady of Chiquinquirá, who had stopped
be a blurred picture to make yourself known.


Miracle!Miracle! Exclama la viejecitaMiracle! the neighbors exclaim the apparition of the Virgin. Worship is
keeps on endlessly in time. From the modest home, I move on to
church and then became, through prayers and thanks to the Mother of God, into a majestic basilica and
Marabinos Worship Center.

Every November 18, his day is celebrated with bagpipes sung in his honor by groups in the region
