Many people talk about the day of the Chinese girl but do not know why it's called and how it happened.

Here I leave the story.

According to the tradition of Zulia, Maracaibo reached the Chinita the waves of the lake. The story goes that one day in 1749, just a simple woman washing clothes on the shores of Lake Maracaibo, when suddenly he saw floating a thin wooden board, which picked up thinking it might be useful to cover the jar of water that was in the hallway of his house. The next morning, when I was straining the coffee, she heard a knock as if someone was calling. He went to see what was happening and was overwhelmed with astonishment to see that the planchette was shining and appearing in it, the image of Our Lady of Chiquinquirá. For this reason, the woman began to cry miracle!Miracle!, So hence comes the name of the current Miracle on Lake Avenue, where was the house of the washer. After what happened, many people came to witness the miracle, for it became the home of the humble woman in a place of veneration of the Virgin by many believers.

For me it is an important day in the family and friends can come together and resarle and ask the Chinita and a desire for the coming year.
