Happy Wednesday to all of you!. I hope you are well. It has become a habit for me to walk a lot to calm the anxiety and sadness I carry inside since an event that has split my life in two. I am happy to be able to smile every day in spite of everything, and I am very grateful to my walking partner. Today when we left work and on our way home we entered for the first time in 10 years in a place that I honestly didn't even know existed, as we had already had lunch we decided to go inside and let ourselves be carried away by its beauty and history.
What I liked most about this Wednesday's walk and my last few walks with Jhoxiris in general is that we always come across places that I consider holy, because they have to do with the Catholic religion. At the entrance of La Pastora, in the city of Caracas, there is a museum dedicated to Doctor José Gregorio Hernández. For those who do not know who he is, he is a blessed and candidate for sainthood here in Venezuela. He has performed many miracles and healing of the sick and was a very important person, one of the most venerated Venezuelans.
The design of the museum is simple and beautiful at the same time. Much of what we can appreciate in it comes from other places where the Doctor actually lived. The first thing you can see when you enter is an altar to celebrate mass and on the floor there is a display of what was the floor of his original house (although it was not specifically on this site). The place is spacious and we were in no hurry, so it was a very pleasant walk, in fact I had the opportunity to pray for a moment in the altar area.
There is a beautiful courtyard that contrasts perfectly with the architecture of the museum, and in fact we stayed for a while having our afternoon coffee. Among the things that impressed us the most was to see that they moved many items from the original room of the Blessed, such as his bed, a showcase, a nightstand, and even his work tools, such as a stethoscope, among others...
Other antiques and belongings of Dr. José Gregorio Hernández can be seen. In the photo below you can see his characteristic period hat, as well as his medical bag and even a very old telephone that was in his house. It is incredible how living in this area I never went in to investigate before, it has been really nice to walk around here. As in all museums they also sell souvenirs and related handicrafts, I will share a couple of pictures of them here below...
The pictures of our Wednesday Walk were taken with my Tecno Pova II, and have no editing. I'm happy to do these types of walks to clear my mind, but not all of them are relevant enough to post in the community, plus I like to respect that it's specifically from a Wednesday. I hope the post is to everyone's liking. Happy rest of the week friends! I leave you a couple of more pictures to conclude...
