Our Lady of Charity, Mother of the Cuban people (shortfilm)

Описание: Outside the walls of its temples, the Cuban Church has had very few opportunities to express its faith in the last sixty years. Communication opportunities have been minimal. Without a doubt, the preparations of the fourth centennial of the discovery of the image of the Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre - Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre -which was celebrated in September 2012, is one of the most important ecclesial events since the beginning of the revolution. The small statue was found floating on the sea by two Indians and a black slave who went to fetch salt in the Bay of Nipe. The image was later brought to the village of El Cobre, near Santiago, from there the devotion spread rapidly throughout the island. The celebration of four centuries of Mary's presence on the island was prepared with a three-year pastoral plan divided into three stages. The first year was dedicated to raising the awareness of the baptized of their missionary vocation; the second to reach those people closest to the Church; and the final and third year is intended to reach out to everyone in the country with a pilgrimage of the Virgen Mambisa - as Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre is also called - throughout Cuba.
