The ¨Bella Vista School¨ was closed on November 18, for a special holiday in the City of Maracaibo, Estado Zulia . t is a special day in commemoration of “La Feria de la Chinita. Everything started in 1709, an old women called Eleida Araujo was near the lake washing her clothes in the border of the lake when she saw a small piece of wood that she liked and used it to cover a jar she had with water. After a few days, on the 18th of November 1709 the old woman heard some knocks, and when she looked she saw the piece of wood illuminated with image of the Virgin Mary. When she saw that she immediately went outside and ran over the street screaming ¨miracle, miracle!¨ Because of that, everyone in the town came to see it!
