The Santurantikuy fair is Cusco\u2019s spirit, tradition, culture, art, and devotion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The origin of this celebration is unclear; it\u2019s believed to have its origins in the XVI century. The oldest reference to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Santurantikuy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Santurantikuy<\/a><\/strong> dates from 1834 and was not named like that. Regardless of this mystery, what we know for sure is that Santurantikuy is a Spanish creation from the colonial period, imposed to evangelize indigenous Peruvians, including images of catholic saints being sold on the steps of the Cathedral of Cusco.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Among the saints\u2019 images offered, the star of the fair is Ni\u00f1o Manuelito. This is nothing but the symbol of baby Jesus. The name Manuelito is a sweet variation of the Spanish form of \u201cEmmanuel\u201d, as baby Jesus is also known, according to catholic folklore.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cusco\u2019s people adopted as theirs the concept of Ni\u00f1o Manuelito, they even dressed him as an Inca emperor. This was headed by the Jesuits and generated indignation among the Catholic Church. Today, Ni\u00f1o Manuelito continues to be a representative and beloved figure for all Cusque\u00f1os, especially at Christmas time.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/cruisetogalapagos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Santurantikuy.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Santurantikuy&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Santurantikuy&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||4px|||&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As you can see Peru truly has amazing festivals and traditions to offer you.
