In the first months of 1781,\nthe rebels tried to take the city, the small number of settlers defended\nthemselves with much courage, but their numerical inferiority did not give rise\nto such a fierce attack. In desperation, the villagers opted to take the virgin\nout in procession, after imploring her protection throughout the night, somehow\nthe aggressors left the place in fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second\nstory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Virgin\nappeared to a native of the area who took care of the village. She had the\nappearance of an elegant lady with a serene face and had a child in her arms.\nThe virgin asked permission to wash her son&#8217;s clothes in the stream in exchange\nfor taking care of the property until his return. When the native returned with\nhis master, who did not believe this story, they found the chest of the Virgin,\ndressed in white, with her clothes still wet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From 01\/02 to 02\/15\/2020 we celebrate the Virgen de la Candelaria in the city of Puno which is considered as the Folk Capital of Peru.
