It is a belief that is still deeply rooted in the
peasant masses. His devotion dates from the first colonizers. They represent
her as a woman who suffers torments in purgatory and travels the roads with her
hands tied with chains.
The legend that runs from mouth to mouth is nothing
like the one quoted in Sacred Scripture in relation to the "thirst for
Christ".
They say that in Jerusalem they had women destined to
give drink to those who sacrificed on the cross. On the afternoon of Good
Friday, he had to climb Calvary to a young woman: Celestina Abnegada. From the
amphora he gave Dimas and Gesta to drink, the two thieves who accompanied
Jesus. He despised the savior and that is why He condemned her to suffer the
thirst and the constant heat of the flames of Purgatory.
