The archbishop of Havana is claiming that Cuba is in a springtime of faith.
Cardinal Jaime Ortega y Alamino spoke Sunday of “many things” changing, as he led a ceremony in Madruga, 35 kilometers (21 miles) from the Cuban capital.
The event was part of a pilgrimage of the image of the Virgin Mary hailed as Cuba’s patron, Our Lady of Charity of Cobre. The pilgrimage is marking the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the image.
Amid the acclamations and songs of thousands of faithful, the cardinal pointed out: “This pilgrimage has great significance: to be a moment of dialogue and reconciliation.”
