What you should consider when you want to build.

The construction is a set of procedures undertaken to raise various types of structures. The main trends in the construction away from the manual labor-intensive and walk-oriented assembly at the site of components larger and more integrated, manufactured in origin.

Another feature of the modern construction related to the above trends is the increased coordination of the dimensions, which means that the buildings are designed, and the components are manufactured in a variety of standard modules, which greatly reduces cutting operations and adjust walk to work.

Another trend is to build or redesign of large and complex structures as shopping malls, dormitory towns, campuses and entire cities or sectors of the same.

Quite simply, it would be unusual to find a church across the country that does not show their image.

In addition, there is hardly a parish that does not have a chapel that is called "Our Lady of La Altagracia" almost non-existent a village that does not have a street named "Altagracia," and almost no family that does not have, at least one witness to the intercession of Our Lady of La Altagracia. So we limit ourselves to a summary quantitative: In 2001 the database of the Central Electoral Board informed us those more than 200000 women with ballot-one in every thirteen women Dominican-called "Altagracia”. And there are more than 10000 men who also bear his name.

The number of pilgrims who visit the Basilica: According to the State Secretariat of Tourism, in 1998, some 800000 pilgrims, the equivalent of 10 percent of the country's population-passed through the Basilica of Higüey each year. It is likely that some 300,000 pilgrims come to the Basilica only for the ninth of January 2007.

The picture of Our Lady of La Altagracia Spanish is a canvas like "Bethlehem" with flamenco influence, typical of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, with a different and almost unique: the light beam.

It was probably painted in Seville in the first 15 years of the sixteenth century (between 1500 and 1515) and is arguably school Alejo Fernandez. The table is also an icon. (All the icons are "Christ-centric). There is no element, no color, and no relationship between elements in the picture of Our Lady of La Altagracia not having its meaning. In fact there are 62 different symbols.

The celebration of Altagracia attracts thousands of worshippers to the Basilica of Higuey where is the true image of the Virgin without denying others the venerated from the church to where, in addition to attending church services in his honor are offered and saints. Also a traditional hour of Higuey, the other provinces have as patron and within those are Puerto Plata, which also venerates the Virgin of Mercy from the big celebration of the municipal fire brigade in the city.

Maria de la Altagracia is the wife of Canaan and she asks his son to be part in the situation and make a miracle there, and also intercedes for the devout Dominican people that have been faithful to this cult that each Again is strengthened through countless miracles performed through the virgin that faith that you have given.
