Bicentenary

26 August 1869                                                                                                                  

El Ermitaño, well rooted in the historical moment, recognizes the consequences of the revolution: temples destroyed and detention of priests. What good if there are no churches? The threat is served: to the jail or to the bottom of the sea. It is the evil that feeds such plans and it must be annihilated. He does so with prayer and service in favour of justice, in his island of war.
