Celebrating Colombia Day with a traditional dance [ENG/ESP]

Hello friends of the @lifestyle community, it's great to see you all. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and wish you a healthy start to the week so you can continue enjoying life. I'm doing well here, thank God. Welcome to my blog. Today I stopped by this great community to share with each of you what July 20 was like, the day when the Colombian community celebrates its country's independence with various civic and cultural events, parades, and concerts. As usual, I cannot miss going to Mass as a good Catholic Christian. It is the Lord's day, so we must celebrate it with the Eucharist. To my surprise, just before Mass began, I noticed that several men and women dressed in beautiful costumes began to arrive. I was curious, but I did not know what was being celebrated. During his homily, the priest mentioned that the Colombian community was celebrating their country's Independence Day. He also informed us that after Mass, we would all go to the plaza to witness and enjoy a cultural event that the community would present in commemoration of their holiday. Indeed, once Mass was over, they performed several dances for us, including some cumbias and other dances such as the joropo. They told us that these are traditional dances from their country, and they did very well, dancing spectacularly. We enjoyed several hours of their dancing. The parish priest took the opportunity to dance with them and reminisce about when he was studying in that country, as he spent approximately two years there as part of his studies. That's all for my post. I hope you enjoyed it. Here are some photos I took. See you next time. * Photos taken with iPhone 8 Plus * Cover designed with Canva * Text translated with Deepl # Celebrando con un baile típico, el día de Colombia

Hola amigos de la comunidad @lifestyle, gusto en saludarlos, espero que todos hayan pasado un excelente fin de semana y dese que tengan un inicio de semana lleno de salud, para continuar disfrutando de la vida. Yo por acá me encuentro bien de salud, gracias a Dios. Sean todos bienvenidos a mi blog. Hoy pasó por esta gran comunidad con el fin de compartir con cada uno de ustedes lo que fue el día veinte de julio, dia en que la colonia colombiana celebra su día de la independencia de su paisa, con diferentes eventos cívico cultural, desfiles y conciertos. Este día como de costumbre no puedo dejar de ir a misa como buena católica cristiana que soy, es el día del señor, por lo que hay que celebrarlo con la eucaristía. Mi sorpresa fue que de repente antes de iniciar la misa, observe que empezaron ha llegar varias personas entre hombres y mujeres vestidos con unos lindos traje, pues me dio curiosidad, pero no sabia que se estaba celebrando. Cuando el sacerdote esta en la homilía, comenta que la colonia colombiana esta de fiesta, es el día de la independencia de su pais, igualmente informa que al salir la misa todos saliéramos a la plaza, para presenciar y disfrutar de un acto cultural que la colonia nos presentaría en conmemoración de su día. Efectivamente una vez culminada la misa, ellos nos presentaron varios bailes, entre ellos unas cumbias y Otros bailes como es el joropo. realmente son baile típicos de su pais comentaban ellos, lo hicieron muy bien, bailaron espectacular y disfrutamos unas cuantas horas de sus bailes. El párroco aprovecho de bailar con ellas y recordar cuando estaba cursando estudios en ese pais, ya que una parte de sus estudios aproximadamente 2 años lo cursan allá . Hasta aquí mi post, espero sea de su agrado, les dejo algunas fotos que capture y nos vemos en una próxima oportunidad. * Fotos tomadas con Iphone 8 plus * Portada diseñada con Canva * Texto traducido con Deepl
