My childhood since I can remember was extremely beautiful, I have a family that always gave everything for us. I had wonderful grandparents who raised me and I believe, or rather I am SURE that this is where my best memory comes from, my best enjoyment and what I value the most from my childhood to my fifteenth year and much more. Because even at 32 years old and without having them physically present I still value the culture that they internalized and that I enjoy as the first day.
Something that was always important and simply fabulous and is something that I remember very pleasantly was the love for the CULTURE OF SAN PEDRO from Guatire, Miranda State, Venezuela.
The San Pedro is a tradition that is celebrated on June 29th of each year in the parish and especially in the main church of the town.
Where they make a mass in the morning hours in honor of San Pedro and then make meetings to celebrate with joy and devotion, satisfaction and energy and parranderos that make this tradition that symbolizes and reaffirms the spirit of struggle against injustice that lived for more than 300 years.
These meetings serve to celebrate the community spirit, the energy and satisfaction of the parranderos, as well as the vitality of a tradition that symbolizes and reaffirms the spirit of struggle against injustice and human inequalities.
For as long as I can remember my grandfather sowed in me from the first moment I could accompany him and walk hand in hand the procession of the saint because he was devoted for all the miracles granted for many years.
Walking in the procession you hear cuatro and maracas playing everywhere and a wave of people dressed in black, red, yellow which are the typical colors of the culture. It is a very beautiful tradition, Catholic and is also registered worldwide in the list of intangible heritage of humanity by UNESCO.
I could not feel more proud to remain with her and to carry this beautiful childhood memory that strengthens my values of love, respect, responsibility and solidarity towards others.
My best childhood memory is undoubtedly the memories that I have of enjoying this tradition that I continue to enjoy today in the company of my new generation, my daughter....
