The 29th Pilgrimage of the Shepherds of the Child Jesus was held in Los Teques, Miranda state, in a demonstration of faith that every year brings together promisers, families and communities around spirituality and Christmas tradition.

In this regard, the Secretary of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Miranda, Mariam Martínez, stressed that “the Pilgrimage of the Shepherds of the Child Jesus is a practice of profound spiritual and community significance, which is safeguarded thanks to the commitment of its bearers and the sustained work of transmitting knowledge between generations”.

He also highlighted the active participation of children and young people in this celebration, which forms the living cultural heritage of the state.

Accompanied by traditional music and songs, the Los Teques Child Jesus party set off from its headquarters in the parking lot of the Caracas residences to visit a series of community altars, where devotees raised prayers and thanks for favors granted. The tour culminated in the San Felipe Neri Cathedral, where the Eucharist was celebrated presided over by the monsignor, Freddy Fuenmayor.

Later, on Bolívar Avenue, the Pilgrimage began formally with the payment of promises and the incorporation of new devotees, a day marked by the presence of practitioners of all ages, especially the Centers for Initiation and Transmission of Knowledge, who for months prepared to dance and accompany this expression of the Christmas holiday cycle.
