On the other hand, the temple will be open Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
AN ANNUAL APPOINTMENT
The pilgrimage takes place every year to celebrate the Feast of the Incarnation of the Son of God.
Two Sundays before 25 March, the image of Soledad is lowered to the shoulders in simple walkways until the neighborhood of Santa Lucia, where the parish priest and faithful pray a septenary during that week in the Parish of Santiago Apóstol.
On Friday, a Via Crucis is carried through the streets of Santa Lucía and after these acts of worship, Sunday rises again in pilgrimage to its headquarters, where it remains the rest of the year.
In the pilgrimage the Virgin is accompanied for four kilometers, first with great hubbub from the parish of St. James the Apostle to the skirt of the mountain, where the drums are dismissed and then the procession continues praying each of the Stations of the Cross and singing the Hail.
From here to the summit, the Passion of Christ is remembered. It is a narrow, rocky and steep road, reminiscent of the true Calvary in Jerusalem (all of these environments also affect the climate and vegetation of the area).
