San Salvador (Paraguay) - Patronal Celebrations

Patronal Celebrations

Every January 6 the streets are decorated and the people gets ready for the Mass directed by the Bishop of the Villarrica Dioceses. Every year the people celebrate the party honoring its saint patron Child Savior of the World. His image could be found in the church of the same name.

The novena starts December 28, and every neighborhood has in charge the celebration of one day of Mass. During the nine days are made bullfights, followed by a gala party honoring the saint patron.

When the Mass is finished, the image of the saint patron travels in the procession throughout the city.
