Celebrations begin of 50th anniversary of the parish
Comenzó el festejo de 50 años de la parroquiao.. [+] Ver masFull article at this link
The celebration of the 50th anniversary of the parish of Isla Mujeres began with the novena to the Virgin of the Assumption, which was taken down from her niche on August 6th, to begin the daily novenas from 6p to 7[, until the 15th when she will be returned to her niche. This is the same image, Virgin of Immaculate Conception, whose day is celebrated in December on the 8th. Special guests will include the Bishop of the Prelature Cancún-Chetumal, Monsignor Pedro Pablo Elizondo Cárdenas and the bishop of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, islander Monsignor Fabio Martínez Castilla.
Father Sánchez Alonso explained that several decades ago, it was believed that the \ icon found in the old convent of Boca Iglesia, the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception, was the virgin of Asunción, so she was commemorated in August. The same custom is followed up to this day, so the same icon is taken down and returned twice per year.
In previous times, the patron saint celebration of the fishermen was in December, so on Nomveber 29th the formal celebration will begin of the 50 year anniversary of the parish bearing the name of the Virgin of Immaculate Conception.
Precisely at the conclusion of the celebration of the Assumption, the commemoration will begin for the 168th anniversary of the founding of the Town of Dolores, which is now Isla Mujeres. Those events will begin on Friday Aug. 17, with a great deal of cultural significance and tradition for the residents and native islanders.
