Religion is very important to Latinos, and we are no exception. You will always find beautiful churches even in the smallest towns, and religious festivals happen all year long. This is the Santa Catalina de Siena church in Carúpano, Sucre, an eastern coastal state. It was here that Simón Bolívar, Venezuela’s most imporatnt historic figure, decreed absolute freedom for slaves, on June 2nd, 1816. Photo taken by jopilmag.
