3 February - Day of the Virgin of Suyapa in Honduras
As you know, Latin America is eminently Catholic. This is the obvious result of 3 centuries of colonial rule from Spain and Portugal. Often, the Catholic religion has resulted in a unique blend of Catholic and local beliefs. The fact is that every town and city in Latin America has a patron saint. In some cases, a country can have a patron saint.
Our Lady of Suyapa is the Patron Saint of Honduras. Her shrine, the Basilica of Suyapa is in the outskirts of Tegucigalpa. The Catholic Church celebrates her day on the 3rd of February. This is a holiday in Tegucigalpa and Comayaguela.
As a matter of fact, the Mexican Virgin of Guadalupe is the Patron Saint of America.
