Hundreds of Catholic pilgrims climbed Guatemala's VolcAn de Agua. They returned the restored Christ of the Heights statue to its chapel in the volcano’s crater, continuing a tradition of seeking blessings.
The procession began early in the morning, with devotees carrying the statue of Jesus up the steep slopes. Volunteers from the community took turns bearing the statue, which symbolizes their gratitude for the blessings they believe they have received.
Pedro Chachal, a devotee participating in the procession, told reporters, “This is a privilege for us, it is a great blessing for Santa Maria de Jesus, our community. We are here, all of us are faithful devotees, eager to be here and receive the blessing of the Christ of the Heights.”
Maria Apolonia Vazquez, another devotee, explained, “He has performed miracles for me. This Christ has done so many miracles for me. That’s why we come with devotion, with love, to bring him back to his chapel.”
The annual pilgrimage, which has been a tradition for nearly five decades, attracts locals seeking divine intervention for rain, abundant harvests, and assistance with personal struggles. The statue, which was temporarily removed for restoration in July due to its deteriorating condition, was returned to its sacred site during this year’s event.
The procession highlights the continued importance of this tradition, where pilgrims come together to honor the statue and seek blessings. The Christ of the Heights statue remains a significant symbol for the local community, and its return to the chapel marks a key moment in the annual spiritual observance.
