More than one hundred actors took part in the 12th Staging of the ‘Apparition of the Virgin of Cocharcas’ that took place in the district of Sapallanga.
Thousands of faithful came to enjoy the performance. “This is the first year I have played the Virgin and I feel blessed,” said Lissette Arauco, the lead actress.
Despite the intense sun, the faithful stayed until the end of the performance, which concluded with the presentation of the apu inca, chonguinada and other dances.
While they gave way to the procession with the image of the Virgin.
Devotees came to the foot of the neighborhood chapel to drink water from the spring, which they consider miraculous and blessed.
