The feast of the Immaculate Conception is celebrated with mass and the tradition of setting up an altar to the Virgin Mary in every home. In some communities, the celebration is more elaborate than Christmas. In the town of Natá de los Caballeros, home to the oldest church on the American mainland, the fiesta is among the most important of the year. The blending of Catholic devotion and indigenous spiritual practice is especially visible in the comarcas.
