A few days ago, I shared a story and some facts of a church
that got covered in rocks due to a volcano Paritutin, erupting. Today I will
talk to you guys about a church but a different church. In mostly every town in
Mexico, there is a catholic church. This church is located in Quechula Chiapa
Mexico. Quechula Chiapas was a really small town, this town was formed by
several houses which were located next to a lake, which back then was only firm
land. In this firm lad the church was constructed. Since in Mexico it tends to
rain constantly and very hard; the land in which this church was contrasted started
getting weaker and weaker and somehow this land turned into a lake. Due to the
storms in Chiapas, as time went on the Quechula church was completely covered
in water due to the rain. In this church Jose Maria Morelos y Pavon, one of
Mexico’s heroes of the Mexican War of Independence, gave his first mass there
that is why this church is very much appreciated throughout the years. Many
people still remember how the church used to be when it wasn’t covered in
water. Not that long ago, due to drought in Mexico the water went down and the
people from that town were witnesses of the repatriation of the church. Even though
the church didn’t look like it used to, it remains its form. The native people
from there were very shocked to see the church again since it has been under
water for a while now. The citizens decided to have mass in the church were
they used to go.
