This episode follows the procession as it leaves the Monasterio de las Nazarenas and moves through the streets of Lima’s historic center. From above, the scale of the celebration becomes visible: a vast crowd filling the streets in a continuous wave of devotion, where the boundaries of the city seem to disappear beneath the movement of the faithful.
Through interviews with members of the Hermandad del Señor de los Milagros, including a member of Cuadrilla 12 who retires after fifty years of service, the episode reflects on the personal devotion and lifelong commitment that sustain this tradition. His story, along with conversations with members of Cuadrilla 18, reveals how faith, music, and brotherhood continue to shape one of Peru’s most powerful expressions of collective belief.
