This square witnessed a life dedicated to true social work, and the pious prayers of the saint. “And the story goes that at dusk, when the sun was lost on the horizon, the saint sat in the middle of the afternoon to teach Christian doctrine to those who lived in a world of ignorance. And the sweet and melodious word of the “Slave of Slaves” took on divine modulations to instill in the hearts of those unfortunate people the beginning of a better life.
Plaza de Bolivar
