Religious celebrations for ‘Mes Morado’ (Purple Month) have commenced in Peru, centered on devotion to the ‘Señor de los Milagros’. In Puno, the first procession took place near the San Antonio Church, featuring traditional music and incense. 

As the month progresses, the devotion continues to serve as a significant religious expression in Peru. The tradition is rooted in the 17th century, originating from an image of Christ painted by an enslaved African man on an adobe wall in Pachacamilla, Lima. The practice remains a major cultural and spiritual connection for the Peruvian people.
