Sumario: |
The patronal feast with their ceremonial spaces are a cultural heritage, a legitimate display of inheritance in a territoryand presented in villages (corregimientos) located around the city of San Juan de Pasto in the Valley of Atriz (Nariño,Colombia). Through the analysis of documents, fieldwork and community inclusion, a participatory methodology wasbuilt which allowed the recognition of festivities with strong religious and Andean values in the villages adjacent to theGaleras volcano, by syncretism among Andean pre-Hispanic memories and Spanish inheritances of religious manifestations.It is taken as a case of study and reflection, the Patronal feast of St. Peter and St. Paul in the Corregimientoof Jongovito, based on Andean agricultural religious and popular celebrations, temporarily transforming the territoryinto a ceremonial space, where the patrons Saints and the Guaguas de Pan are main characters in an attitude offervor and community thankfulness, linking customs, knowledge and traditions which provide a special stamp to theirculture. These inheritances open new spaces and lines of research into the Andean festivity culture and religioustraditions present in the South of the country. |
