Lugar donde se encuentra la Patrona: Virgen de la Caridad, se realizan alfombras de aserrín y alfombras de flores durante la fiesta para que pase la virgen en los hombros de sus fieles. El principal atractivo son las alfombras y tapetes monumentales que se realizan para agradecer la salud, cosechas en abundancia y prosperidad. Las alfombras están llenas de motivos religiosos, estas se elaboran con distintos tipos; de flores, semillas, frutas de temporada, metales, vidrios y más. El precio de estas obras ronda los cincuenta mil pesos. Los tapetes combinan formas geométricas inspiradas en flores y aves, sobre ellos se realiza la procesión, estos llevan más de doce horas en su elaboración, por eso es la noche que nadie duerme ya que todos participan en la elaboración hasta terminar varios metros.

El arte efimero y la tradición permanente. Me encantó el no dormir y caminar en la procesión viendo los tapetes disfrutando de una noche en que hay cuentes, castillos, música y todo lo que hace que te sientas huamantleco aunque no lo seas. Vas pasando y huele a comida a café, pan, chiles en nogada ufff unas chalupas wow de todo hay en esta fiesta. Esta hermosa fiesta es en la noche del 14 de agosto, la misa es a las 12 de la noche y la procesión empieza 1:30 de la madrugada y termina a las 7 de la mañana del día 15. Lleva tenis cómodos, chamarra, impermeable o paraguas, mucha Bateria en tu celular para tomarle foto a todos los tapetes y muchas ganas de conocer una de las tradiciones más bonitas de este país. 😄😄😄😄😚

The ephemeral art and the permanent tradition. I loved not sleeping and walking in the procession watching the rugs enjoying a night when there are counts, castles, music and everything that makes you feel huamantleco even if you are not. You go through and it smells like food for coffee, bread, chiles in nogada ufff a few chalupas wow of everything there is in this party. This beautiful feast is on the night of August 14, the Mass is at 12 p.m. and the procession begins 1:30 a.m. and ends at 7 am on the 15th. Wear comfortable sneakers, jacket, raincoat or umbrella, lots of battery on your cell phone to take a photo of all the mats and want to know one of the most beautiful traditions of this country. 😄😄😄😄😚
