PASUY ARCINIEGAS, William. Jongovito (Pasto, Colombia) y la Fiesta de San Pedro y San Pablo: sincretismo andino y católicoJongovito (Pasto, Colombia) and the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul: Andean and Catholic syncretism. Apuntes [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.1, pp.140-151. ISSN 1657-9763.

The patronal feast with their ceremonial spaces are a cultural heritage, a legitimate display of inheritance in a territory and presented in villages (corregimientos) located around the city of San Juan de Pasto in the Valley of Atriz (Nariño, Colombia). Through the analysis of documents, fieldwork and community inclusion, a participatory methodology was built which allowed the recognition of festivities with strong religious and Andean values in the villages adjacent to the Galeras volcano, by syncretism among Andean pre-Hispanic memories and Spanish inheritances of religious manifestations. It is taken as a case of study and reflection, the Patronal feast of St. Peter and St. Paul in the Corregimiento of Jongovito, based on Andean agricultural religious and popular celebrations, temporarily transforming the territory into a ceremonial space, where the patrons Saints and the Guaguas de Pan are main characters in an attitude of fervor and community thankfulness, linking customs, knowledge and traditions which provide a special stamp to their culture. These inheritances open new spaces and lines of research into the Andean festivity culture and religious traditions present in the South of the country.
