Every year on October 21, the northern province of Colón in Panama comes alive with the celebration of the festival of the Black Christ of Portobelo. This event, considered one of the largest Catholic pilgrimages in the country, draws thousands of faithful pilgrims who embark on a journey of devotion and faith.
Portobelo, a historic city with deep cultural significance, is the setting for this annual pilgrimage. Once a bustling port and trade center during the Spanish colonial era in the Caribbean Sea, Portobelo now stands as a testament to Panama's rich heritage.
