In Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende strengthens the traditional «Bringing of the Lord of the Column» / @MauricioTrejoP @GobMunicipalSMA >>>

#SanMiguelDeAllende, #Gto.- As part of the bicentennial of the «Traída del Señor de la Columna», the Municipal Administration delivered a commemorative sculpture, a new jubilee bell, replaced the representative tiles and improved the public square in front of the temple of the San Juan de Dios neighborhood, thus promoting and caring for one of the most deeply rooted popular traditions among the people of San Miguel.

This quarry stone sculpture was inaugurated by the municipal president Mauricio Trejo, Father Dante Aguilar, members of the Brotherhood of the Lord of the Column and neighbors of the San Juan de Dios neighborhood.

In front of the image sculpted by the San Miguel artisan Jorge Godinez, the president of San Miguel said: «I am one of those who firmly believe that a town with traditions will always be a better place to live than somewhere else that does not have them. Traditions have many meanings, traditions unify people. You can count on me for the rest of my administration to continue recovering traditions, thank you very much.

In addition, Mauricio Trejo highlighted the complementary works to beautify public spaces as he did on this occasion with the planters and the public square in front of the temple and mentioned: «I know that at the beginning the neighbors said: what are you going to do? Well, we wanted to surprise all the neighbors. We are rescuing all the areas and today this becomes an area of reflection for all those who want to come here, a space full of peace and reflection. This is the example and the message that sorrows are fleeting, that pains are fleeting and that we have no choice but to move forward. It is a new beginning for this whole area, for all the neighbors, for all the believers in this area».
