12 curiosities of Santo Domingo, the saint that the Managuas adopted as their patron

Santo Domingo de Guzmán remains all year round in the parish of Las Sierritas, a residential area located south of the city, to the west of kilometer nine of the Carretera a Masaya. But that changes in August, when he is taken out in procession to visit the center of Managua where he stays for several days until he is returned to his “home” in a reverse procession to the first.

The story tells that one day in 1885, in that area of ​​Managua known as Las Sierritas (for the time it was not the residential area of ​​today, but a rural area occupied by productive farms), a farmer named Vicente Aburto cleaned a ground when, in the hollow of a burned tree, he found a truly curious object: a 20-centimeter statue representing a saint from the Catholic tradition.

Soon the family and neighbors of Aburto gathered in amazement to observe the statuette and decided to travel to the city in search of a priest who could tell them what saint it was. In a church that does not currently exist, located near the old center, the local priest told them that it was an image of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, and together with him they decided to leave the statue in the church.

After returning to Las Sierritas, the people of Aburto found an unimaginable surprise: the statuette was in the same place where it had been found. Surprised, they returned to the father to report the event. This, incredulous, told them that it was impossible, because the statue was still in the church. But the image was gone.

The mysterious fact led the priest to consider that the little saint wanted to remain in Las Sierritas. He proposed to his visitors that they build a hermitage (which later evolved into the current parish) on the site of the discovery, and that every year they bring Santo Domingo with dances and joy to visit Managua. The chosen date was from the first to the 10th of August, according to the Catholic calendar the day of Santo Domingo is the 4th of that month.
