[ENG] Church of the Precious Blood in Caracas [ESP] Iglesia de la Preciosísima Sangre en Caracas

Dear readers of these communities that honor me with your reading, vote, and appreciation. Today I have the immense honor of sending you photos and information about a beautiful church that is located in the city of Caracas, specifically at the intersection of Avenida Santa Eduvigis and Tercera Transversal, Urbanización Santa Eduvigis, east of the capital. May Holy Week be a propitious date to see a temple that preaches the words of Jesus Christ and his disciples all year round for the good of all humanity.

Passing through one of the streets surrounding the church, I was struck by the resemblance of this temple to the Chiquinquirá Church, of which I recently made a post for Hive, which is why I decided to enter it. After taking pictures of her slender neo-Romanesque figure, which some have classified as eclectic, somewhere between neo-Romanesque and neo-Byzantine, I entered, with all due respect and humility, its interior.

The construction of the Church of the Precious Blood, governed by the Passionist Fathers, was completed in 1959, designed by the Navarrese architect Javier Yárnoz Larrosa, who unfortunately died the same year his work was completed and 20 years after setting foot on Venezuelan soil. as a Spanish exile.

The first thing that impresses is the enormous dimensions of its widely lit spaces, its altars, and above all to see, something uncommon in Venezuelan churches, large murals or realistic spray-painted frescoes, which are found on the upper part of its sidewalls, which were made by the Spanish painter César Hombrados Oñativia, who managed to capture in his murals the passion of Christ in his different moments of the “viacrusis” (Way of the Cross).

Above the main altar there is an imposing dome of intense blue, the church is surrounded by a number of windows in its upper part that allows natural light to enter the entire enclosure.

The passionate fathers not only take care of the spiritual health of their parishioners, but also attend the physical health with the provision of services in the "Santo Cristo Medical Dispensary", which is located in the church compound, and also in the educational part through a school “Santa Gema”, whose building is next to the temple.

Estimados lectores de estas comunidades que me honran con su lectura, voto y apreciaciones. En el día de hoy tengo el inmenso honor de hacerles llegar fotos e información sobre una bellísima iglesia que se encuentra en la ciudad de Caracas, específicamente en el cruce de la Avenida Santa Eduvigis y la Tercera Transversal, Urbanización Santa Eduvigis, al este de la capital. Sea la Semana Santa una fecha propicia para ver un templo que todo el año predica las palabras de Jesucristo y sus discípulos para el bien de toda la humanidad.

Al pasar por una de las calles que rodean la iglesia, me llamó muchísimo la atención el parecido de este templo con la Iglesia de la Chiquinquirá, de la cual hice un post para Hive en fecha reciente, razón por la cual decidí entrar en ella. Luego de tomar fotografías de su esbelta figura neorrománica, que algunos han catalogado como ecléctica, entre neo-románica y neo-bizantina, entré, con todo respeto y humildad, a su parte interior.

La construcción de la iglesia de la Preciosísima Sangre, regida por los padres Pasionistas, fue concluida en 1959, proyectada por el arquitecto navarro Javier Yárnoz Larrosa, quien desafortunadamente falleció el mismo año en que se concluyó su obra y 20 años de haber pisado tierra venezolana, como exiliado español.

Lo primero que impresiona son las enormes dimensiones de sus espacios ampliamente iluminados, sus altares y sobre todo ver, algo poco común en las iglesias venezolanas, grandes murales o frescos realistas pintados en spray, que se encuentran en la parte superior de sus paredes laterales, que fueron realizados por el pintor español César Hombrados Oñativia, quien logró plasmar en sus murales la pasión de Cristo en sus diferentes momentos del viacrusis.

Sobre el altar mayor se encuentra una imponente cúpula de azul intenso, la iglesia se encuentra rodeada de una cantidad de ventanales en su parte superior que permite la entrada de la luz natural a todo el recinto.

Los padres pasionarios no solo se encargan de la salud espiritual de sus feligreses, sino también se ocupan de la salud física con la prestación de servicios en el “Dispensario Médico Santo Cristo”, que se encuentra en el recinto de la iglesia y también de la parte educativa a través del Colegio Santa Gema, cuya edificación está a un costado del templo.

Greetings dear friend Benjamin. It's a great pleasure to take a walk with you as you show us around the magnificent Church of the Precious Blood in Caracas. Its Neo-Romanesque and Neo-Byzantine architectural characteristics are well defined, adding to the exterior as well as interior splendor it beholds. I'm particularly curious about the imposing dome of intense blue over the main altar. Do you have a close-up photo of it?
Hello dear friend Erne, your words are an incentive to continue working for this community, thank you for it. Unfortunately I do not have photos of the ceiling of the main altar, because when I visited the church a prayer ceremony was being carried out in it and I could not get closer. However, this link may satisfy your legitimate curiosity: https://es.foursquare.com/v/iglesia-la-preciosisima-sangre/4ff08af2e4b0a36f6f3aa968/photos Receive my words of thanks and my wishes that you spend a Holy Week in peace physical , as well as, spiritual tranquility.
