"El señor de la salud" sanctuary
The image of the Lord of Health came to the parish in 1876, the believers considered him a great treasure, is life-size and represents Jesus, has in his head a crown of thorns made of gold silver and precious pearls. In his hands he holds a cane with a scepter, his neck hangs a rope reminiscent of the one who served the guard to drag the Nazarene to Calvary, both the cane and the rope are silver.
But what really draws attention is his sweet and gentle face, which leads after him the gaze and the heart of the one who contemplates him, his eyes as looking for his prodigal children and his lips slightly parted update his cry by launching from the Cross, reason why the Devotosdel Lord of Health are counted by thousands and transcend the provincial borders by the received favours; The festival is the first Sunday in July that the devotees attend in pilgrimages and hikes.
