In September 1692, the city of Salta was stricken by severe earthquakes which lasted until the whole town gathered to pray to Christ and the Virgin in the main square …
It was after that year that an annual novena was established to be prayed beginning every 09/06 and ending on 09/15. The last day a mass procession takes place, the people go out to streets in deep gratitude to El Señor y la Virgen del Milagro (Lord and Virgin of The Miracle) for their Pact of Love and Faith.
It is a very important gathering in which love is present and it invites us to find ourselves, and reunite with our family and friends, our community, our Patron saints and all the people who visit or live in Salta.
A gathering that also offers us the opportunity to stop for a moment and reflect on the true values of a fair society, values which guarantee PEACE between the peoples.
