Fishermen, sailors and Panamanian security forces commemorated today the Day of the Virgen del Carmen, patron saint of navigators and ports with a traditional maritime pilgrimage in the Pacific.

One of the points where the saint was worshiped was the capital's neighborhood of El Chorrillo, in which pilgrims carried the image on their backs before placing it on a barge, confirmed Acan-Efe on a tour of the believing people.

The same action was repeated by the National Aeronaval Service (Senan) of Panama, from the Peñón de San José on the Flamenco island in Amador.

The image was escorted by several vessels and units of the National Police, the Institutional Protection Service (SPI), and the National Frontier Service (Senafront).

"Most Holy Virgin of Carmen, you always protect us and cover us in the missions that we are going on - aquatic tour Naval Group - #OrgullosamenteAeronaval", published in a tweet, the official account of the Senan.

The devotion to the Virgin of Carmen is extended in many countries of America and Europe such as: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Spain, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico and Venezuela.
