FIESTA OF THE SWEETS

In Cuenca, Corpus Christi is not only a feast, it is a heartbeat of faith that awakens the ancient stones and lights up the streets with hope. It is the bread turned into Body that walks among colonial balconies, while prayers rise like incense over the Tomebamba River that murmurs stories of our grandparents. The lights of the castles illuminate a sky that seems closer, reminding us that God remains among us in every step, in every sweetness we share, in every embrace we give. Here, in the Cuenca that prays and celebrates, Corpus Christi is the miracle that unites the people and the sky in the same pulse, teaching us that faith is not past, but a living present that sustains us, unites us and invites us to walk with gratitude in every dawn. And it is much better when the novelty is less.
