Why pilgrims come

A sacred place worth the journey.

Caracas’s Basilica of Santa Teresa is the principal home of the colonial image of the Nazarene of San Pablo. The extraordinary Holy Wednesday devotion is among Venezuela’s defining public Catholic observances. Stories such as the flowering lemon tree belong to received tradition and poetry, not documented supernatural adjudication.
