Hello! I am again passing through this wonderful community, dear hives and friends of #architectureandesign . Always wishing you a happy day, and soon the weekend break will be here so we can relax and I hope you have a great time.
Today I want to show you the parish church of San José de Paraguachí. I invite you to take this tour with me. For several years, I worked a block away from this church, and I think this publication is necessary; I owe it to this cozy church that I have visited on several occasions. Although not always seen for very joyful reasons, I have had the opportunity to appreciate its beauty.
I hope this is not the last publication I will make about it, as they are currently painting and access to the interior is restricted to painters only. Father told me that I should show its beauty, and today was not the best time, he was quite right. So I will come back another time to show you.

¡Hola! Nuevamente estoy de paso por esta maravillosa comunidad, queridos hives y amigos de #architectureandesign . Siempre deseándoles un feliz día, y ya pronto llegará el descanso de fin de semana para poder relajarnos y espero que la pasen muy bien.
Hoy quiero mostrarles la iglesia Parroquial de San José de Paraguachí. Les invito a que hagan este recorrido conmigo. Durante varios años, trabajé a una cuadra de esta iglesia, y creo que esta publicación es necesaria; se la debo a esta acogedora iglesia que he visitado en varias oportunidades. Aunque no siempre fueron vistas por motivos muy alegres, he tenido la oportunidad de apreciar su belleza.
Espero que esta no sea la última publicación que haga sobre ella, ya que en estos momentos están pintando y el acceso al interior está restringido, solo para los pintores. El padre me dijo que debía mostrar su belleza, y hoy no era el mejor momento, tenía mucha razón. Así que volveré en otra ocasión para mostrarles.

The Church of San José de Paraguachí is located in the municipality of Antolín del Campo, in the state of Nueva Esparta, on Margarita Island. Right next to the church is the town square, where all the locals gather. Today, the square is the center of all activities and a reference point for meetings.

Justo al lado de la iglesia se encuentra la plaza del pueblo, donde se reúnen todos los lugareños. Hoy en día, la plaza es el centro de todas las actividades y un punto de referencia para encuentros.

The church of San José has a rich history, but I will concentrate on its architecture. It was built by the locals in 1874. Its roof is made of wooden beams lined with clay tiles.

The tower is very tall and at the top is a large Celtic cross, visible from afar.

La torre es muy alta y en la parte superior se encuentra una gran cruz celta, visible desde lejos.

En la torre también se encuentran dos campanas con una historia interesante. Antiguamente, como todos vivían un poco distantes, era difícil avisar cuando alguien fallecía. Un día, una persona llegó a la iglesia y dio la noticia. Las campanas comenzaron a sonar, y las personas se acercaron. Esta tradición se mantiene hasta hoy: cuando suena la campana fuera del horario de congregación, se sabe que ha fallecido alguien en Paraguachí.

The church is currently being painted white, which makes it stand out. The discreet adornments of yeyo give a distinction to its structure.

In the church gardens grow beautiful plants that give it a fresh tone. Despite the drought, the green always predominates.
