Greetings, all dear friends of this traveling community, I hope you are well, on this occasion I find myself visiting a monument which represents an incalculable value of faith, it is the monument to Dr. José Gregorio Hernández, a distinguished Venezuelan, whose career in This life was dedicated to medicine, he attended to the most needy, which is why he was classified as the doctor of the poor.
His life was at the service of the people, however it had a tragic outcome, when he died in a tragic car accident, due to the only vehicle that existed in Venezuela at that time in the capital of this country, Caracas. This caused great shock in the community in In general, the most needy were left helpless without the doctor who cared for them, which caused great sadness and desolation in these people, who had no choice but to hold on to faith and ask this deceased Doctor in their prayers to that would give healing to their ills
After this the story would begin, there are countless people who attest to his miracles, they say that when a person is in poor health with some illness, this doctor is asked to intercede for them and he heals them, there is so much faith that he was already beatified by the Catholic Church, a significant achievement for the Catholics of Venezuela who for years had asked that this distinguished doctor be recognized as a saint.
The miracle attributed to him for his beatification was in the town of Guayabal, Guarico state, bordering the Apure state, where a 10-year-old girl was shot in the head. The doctors gave little chance that she would emerge alive from the operation. , or that if she went out she would be paraplegic due to the complexity of the injury, however the mother herself did not lose faith and begged this venerable doctor to perform the miracle for her, after all the girl came out in perfect condition of the operation, so due to the protocols of the Catholic Church he obtains the title of Venerable, why his first miracle is attributed to him, after the second he acquires the title of saint and can be venerated in all the churches of the world
This monument is easy to get to, it is located right on the side of the national highway, a few meters from the entrance to San Juan in the direction of Villa de Cura, it has a parking lot where parishioners, visitors and tourists can park their vehicle quietly to begin the journey or the tour through the pension monument to Doctor José Gregorio Hernández, which beyond being a monument is like a kind of square with multiple benefits that I will present below
Here it shows the pilgrimage route that the fervent believers took at the time he was beatified, in which they made a journey of more than 300 kilometers, which I consider a real challenge to meet.
The geography of San Juan de los Morroa is comprised of a mountainous relief, so wherever you look you are going to come across a hill, a summit or mountain, this monument does not escape this situation, which is why they had to be made several adjustments to ensure that topographically the land would not give way due to the rains because it is a hill where this precious monument was built
Venezuela has two weather seasons, winter and summer, because it is a tropical area, we are currently in summer, however the gardening in this place never ceases to surprise us, or is it that these plants are truly resistant to these temperatures, which are not at all easy because On the hottest days the temperature can reach 40 degrees, however at night this temperature usually drops and it is quite pleasantly cold.
It is fascinating to see how these plants, despite the high temperatures, still remain, giving natural beauty to this monument.
In this part, the national flag of the Guarico state and that of the Juan Germán Roscio municipality of San Juan de los Morros are raised. This is done especially when they are national dates or when it is a relevant date such as Easter, where is class? of monuments receive the most visits during the year
The place has multiple seats where visitors can come to rest, or any social activity or sharing that they have according to their planning. They are quite spacious and can accommodate several people, making it ideal for visiting in a group.
These seats have the uniqueness that they are divided by a mini wall in front, I think it is enough to maintain a bit of privacy, especially if there is another group on the other side.
They are carrying out pruning work on a tree that fell due to a strong breeze, fortunately there was no damage to regret, it only affected the lighting a little but they were already carrying out the work inherent to it for its prompt restoration and continuity of the enjoyment of the visitors
At the top there are other seats that offer a spectacular, totally panoramic view of the city and the back of this viewpoint, which is truly pleasant.
They offer these views of this mountainous relief where you can appreciate what is typical of summer, a beautiful blue sky and the mountains somewhat overwhelmed by the sun, but soon they will become green with the inflows of water.
Did you know the story of Dr. Jose Gregorio Hernández? What did you think of this monument? Have you visited a kind of place like this that is intended for tourism and religiosity? Thank you very much for reading me, see you another time, where we continue exploring and taking tours through every corner of Venezuela and wherever life takes us until next time.
