Parroquia Virgen de la Candelaria

Very quiet!

Beautiful parish

It is the mere patron of the municipality of Quitupan and its ranches is a pleasure to have been a few days in the past holidays I hope to have the joy of being in the coming of 2020 since the mass is outside the temple because it is much the people who come for their parties

The Virgin of the Candelaria She is the patron saint of the town, her parties begin with the "brought" of the virgin, and it consists of a procession from San Francisco to Quitupan, it has dancers, pyrotechnics and it is prayed during the journey, it arrives at the temple's atrium where Mass is celebrated. At the end there is popular verbena, castle and traditional torito. One of the most prominent days is February 5, the day of the absent children, since a large part of the population emigrates to the USA and congregate to celebrate. The temple was recently re-modeled on the altar as well as expanded from a central nave with double row of benches to 3 with 5 rows.
