Parroquia San Andres Apostol — Local services in Jalisco

Located one hour south of Guadalajara, Ajijic is known for its proximity to Lake Chapala, the largest fresh water lake in Mexico. This Mexican town derived from Nahuatl, the native language of the area with its ideal climate attracts snowbirds and expats alike making Ajijic home to Mexico’s largest expat population. One of the most attractive features are its painted facades through the cobbled streets in search of crafts or dining options which my partner, his family, our friends and I visited yesterday. Another highlight is the “Wall of the Muertos” by the artist Efrén González honoring those inhabitants—nationals or foreigners—who lived in Ajijic. Since Mexico is predominately a Catholic country, there are churches in every town. Across the street from the wall, some of us entered the church Parroquia San Andres Apostol honoring St. Andrew. The first stone was laid in 1749 and can be found at the entrance. It was quiet, simple, and beautiful found inside and out. The bell tower sounds several times a day and is lit up at night. Since the 1950s, this colorful, cobblestoned little town has been an appealing destination. It attracts people worldwide seeking art, food, culture, music, and...

I never went there, even if Google says I did. And I know I didn't go because I never go to church, because I see no point in going there to pretend to talk to a being that supposedly is everywhere... Among other reasons...

Frente a la plaza principal de este bello Pueblo Mágico de Ajijic, en el estado de Jalisco se encuentra está Parroquia complementando la belleza de su centro.

Con un gran atrio impecable en su limpieza, se encuentra esta parroquia que luce divina, la base notoriamente antiquísima y de piedras y sobre ellas una cúpula muy moderna y elegante, que junto con su reloj, pareciera que se construyeron o reconstruyeron muchos años después, esta combinación la hace lucir elegante.

En el año de 1749 se colocó la primera piedra, según una leyenda que se encuentra en la entrada. El 30 de noviembre se celebra una fiesta en honor a San Andrés Apóstol.

Los invito a escribir su propia historia hasta la próxima y...
