ANÁLISIS DE LA FESTIVIDAD RELIGIOSA DE LA VIRGEN DE BALBANERA DE LA PARROQUIA SANTIAGO DE QUITO, DEL CANTÓN COLTA, Y SU APORTE AL PATRIMONIO INTANGIBLE CULTURAL DE CHIMBORAZO.

The essence of burning eucalyptus branches is scattered throughout the atmosphere of the night of the celebration that is celebrated on the esplanade of the church in honor of the Virgin Mary Natividad de Balbanera. The building stands on the slopes of the snowy Chimborazo, next to the Colta lagoon, 30 minutes from Riobamba. Which is not interrupted by the intense cold did not diminish the attendance of faithful from different cities of Ecuador, parishes and surrounding communities. Being the main attraction of Colta, the first church built on Ecuadorian soil, so its beauty is historical. Raised by the Spaniards, its construction style is colonial, its stone facade is the only witness in its history. The importance lies in trying to consolidate the identity through the use of these practices, whether in private or public events, in several cases, the entrance to certain rituals may be limited to some segments of the population or community. On the other hand, participation in the whole society is admitted in several religious festivities. These are really diverse, the same ones that have within them a large scale of expressions, elements with a dress for each dance, parade, sacrifice of animals and typical foods. It is very important to call several people and establishments as social, religious, political and legal mechanisms of society. Always respecting the traditional rites that contain collaboration with explicit groups, it is beneficial, in certain occasions, to support as much public participation as possible.
