Five or six bulls were let loose during the excitement, but no harm was done, and every one had an uproariously good time. Such is the spectacle of Copacabana, a mixture of business and pleasure, pagan and Christian, Spain and Titicaca.
On the peninsula of Copacabana, opposite the sacred islands, a great annual pageant is still staged every August. Although at present connected with a pious pilgrimage to the shrine of the miraculous image of the "Virgin of Copacabana," this vivid spectacle, the most celebrated fair in all South America, has its origin in the dim past.
To the third class, the Virgin of Carmen, of Zaragoza, of Guadaloupe, of Copacabana, of Olivia de la Victoria, of Peñacerada, of Regla, of Cavadoraga, of Montserrat, of Nieves, of Fousanta, of Atocha, and innumerable other places. The Virgin of the Rosary is so called, because it is before her image that her devotees pray the rosary.
