This fourth season of Simple Stories in Spanish is focusing on celebrations. While it is not a big, crazy party, the Día de la Virgen de Suyapa is an important celebration in the nation of Honduras. La Virgen de Suyapa was the name given to a small statue of the Virgin Mary that a boy discovered on the outskirts of the capital Tegucigalpa. Today, that discovery is marked with a celebration outside of the basilica and a large fair. This story is told in the the present and past tenses. Repeated words and phrases include “estatuilla” (figurine), “peregrinaje” (pilgrimage), “rezar” (pray), “dulces” (sweets), “cómodo” (comfortable), and “milagro” (miracle). No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way.
