Over the years the fame of the appearance of the Virgin in this place has transcended not only the borders of the department of Madriz, but also the borders of Nicaragua.

Parishioners' meeting

From then on the 8th of each month they meet at the same point where a modest altar was built, sit and thousands of believers waiting for the appearance of the one already known as the Virgin of Cacaulí. On December 8, up to 15,000 parishioners have been gathered.

When do parishioners meet?

On the 7th and 8th of each month, food sellers, reliquaries and stamps, statues of the Virgin come to this place. They highlight the brochures with the messages of the Virgin that are elaborated by hand by the Marian sisters of Ocotal that offer them to the modest price of 5 córdobas.
