The Virgin of Carmen and the fishermen of the Lake of Nicaragua

Lago de Nicaragua

The fishermen of the Lake of Nicaragua venerate the Virgin of Carmen as a water protector.

Place: Lago de Nicaragua
Type: Apparition / Advocation

On the banks of the Lake of Nicaragua, the largest in Central America, fishermen venerate the Virgin of Carmen. They carry a small image on their ships and pray before they sail.

La tradición cuenta que la Virgen del Carmen apareció sobre las aguas del lago para guiar a unos pescadores que se habían perdido en una tormenta. Los pescadores la llamaron «La Estrella del Lago.»

Every year, at the feast of the Virgin of Carmen, fishermen organize a floating procession through the lake.

The Virgin of Carmen is the star that guides the fishermen of the Lake of Nicaragua.
