During the past weeks, there has been lots of excitement for this huge star which was lifted to the top of the Virgin Mary tower of the monument and finally lighted yesterday night for all the Christmas season.
For those living in town, it is impressive to see how the monument is evolving over time. I still remember when being a kid I visited the church for the first time with the school and felt disappointed after realizing there was no church yet!
Back then, there were only 4 towers finished, and over the years little by little mainly financed by donations, the construction has been evolving until the main building ended and was officially opened in 2019 while the Covid-19 pandemic was quite strong.
Here's the video showing how the star was lifted to become a new iconic sign in the city skyline.
