The pilgrimage can start from anywhere in the country the days prior to 2nd August, which is the day of the liturgical celebration at the Catholic Church in the Basílica de los Ángeles in Cartago. A lot of people believe that the pilgrimage is a way to thank the Virgin for the things that they have receive and the miracles that have saved some members of their families and also because they want to fulfill promises they have made to the Virgin.
As we pointed out before, people come from any part of the country some of them walking a lot of kilometers and days for seeing the Virgin of the Angels known as "LA NEGRITA", also through the year a group of seamstresses work very hard to create a dress to wear the little figure of “La Negrita". Among a big quantity of participants just one has to be chosen by the priest.
