Submitted by Pedophile-hater on 7 December, 2005 - 20:18.

The Inmaculate Conception is a catholic celebration that started In Leon and spreaded all over Nicaragua, The cathedral of leon one of the biggest church building in Nicaragua and an Important architecture piece in Latin America is dedicated to the Inmaculate Conception, that day is also called "La Griteria" and is most popular because is dedicated to the children too, an opportunity for people to share what ever they can with the children of the neihborhood but some adults go and get whatever they can must adults that ask come from outside the city, and you dont need to be rich to celebrate it you are allowed to give or not to give, or any humble gift is accepted mostly home made stuffs or local craft bought at the local mercado, people likes celebrating "la griteria" they want their children to see what that is and have a time like they had as adults, "la griteria" or "Inmaculate Conception day" has nine night of preparation in wich people is invited a the house and make some prayers and at the end everybody gets a gift. and firework is fired. The image of the virgen use in worshiping can be paper cardboar, glass(china) ceramic or clay, whatever a michelangelo wanabe can do, and those imagnes or estatues or plastic virgins have the benefits that they dont bitch back at you. People that carry the "plastic virgen" in their shoulder are guaranty and know for sure they are not carring in their shoulder a backstaber.

Miskito Alan asks: Are we going to have to get on the "virgins", again?

I think all of that has been exhausted in previous posts and previous times.
