Holidays!


Hi again! let's talk about the holidays, I chose to describe my favorite holiday, the Chinita's Fair



The Chinita's Fair starts a week before October 17th and goes along forthe whole week. It takes place in Maracaibo every year.

The devotion of the Chinita's Virgin started a long time ago when an old lady found a little board in the waters of Maracaibo's Lake that miraculously lighted up with the image of the Virgin Mary. Since that day the board has been kept on the Chiquinquira's Basilica.

The fair starts with the orchid's festival, continues with the bull's rodeo every day and it ends on october 18th with the gaita's done. In my family we celebrate Chinita's day in my house there we play domino and drink bear untill the sun rise the next day.

Due to the Chinita's Fair many people gain money because it's a really good period for the infomal commerce. It is a Festival that should stay on the years to come because it forms part of the zulian's folklore.


This is my favorite fair, please send me your opinion about wheter you like or not the publication and tellme your favorite holiday.
