These are the feasts of the Black Christ when pilgrims congregate from around the country. Some are walking long distances in payment for favors granted by the miraculous Nazarene. Others come from or carrying heavy crosses knees in penitence. During each year is visited by many pilgrims, but hikers do it only for the week of October 21. Legend has it that the image of the Nazarene arrived in the late eighteenth century on a ship whose destination was Peru, but that bad weather forced it to disembark in Portobelo. The popular narrative has two aspects, one notes that some fishermen found it floating in the holy waters of the Caribbean and another, a Spanish Galleon Shield landfall due to bad weather, with two images on board, one of a white Christ and another of a black Christ. Each time the ship tried to sail with its cargo, a storm prevented it. After several attempts, the Spanish decided to leave the black Christ in Portobelo and were finally able to leave.
