A kind of Color Fest called "CAJUV"

in #blog7 years ago

   Some months ago was celebrated in Caracas, Venezuela the Archdiocesan Celebration of Youth ("CAJUV" for its acronym in Spanish "Celebración Arquidicoesana de la Juventud") this celebration is a catholic kind of party where the youth groups of every church in Caracas meet to celebrate the catholic faith, this celebration is one of the many events that shows that the catholic guys can be even funnier than many people thinks. This celebration doesn't have a specific thematic, it change every year, the last year was a giant hike through the Capital city when We could see many young people having a great time enjoying the moment singing or just talking each other, but this year it had a little change, It was not going ti be a simply procession of people. It was going to be a kind of Color Fest.

   As a catholic party It started with an Eucharist in the church "Don Bosco" It was a great celebration with young people of every part of the city, a great music group was playing during the mass, It is a tradition that in every CAJUV It is an Eucharist, but the big surprise was going to be after this.

   At the end of the concert every group came back home, I can say It was a great experience because many people from  different places of the city meet each other to celebrate and say that the catholic people can make fun things, this kind of celebration wants to be a different thing in the live of the people even for those who are not catholic, this kind of celebrations shows  the world that you can go to the church and steel being a young an happy person.
