It is now the time of celebration of many of the cherished spiritual figures, and one of them is La Virgin del Rosario or, Our Lady Of the Rosary, so at the crack of dawn the cohetes de trueno or sky rockets blast off to call the parishioners to the Mañanitas or Rosary procession to the church. From 5:30 AM to 6:00 AM we hear fireworks followed by church bells calling the faithful to early Mass.....better than an alarm clock beeping, although frightening to our dog, Lola, who leaped up into bed with us, trembling like a leaf. This will last thru all of October until the statue of the Virgin del Rosario is paraded back to her home cathedral in an impressive procession/celebration followed by an evening fiesta in the plaza.
