The wide plains of Upper Apure, in southwest Venezuela, are a meeting point for Andean heritage and the identity of the plain dwellers, with a strong indigenous presence and contact with Colombians just across the border. In the middle of this landscape rises the Christ of the Savannah, which has become a symbol of faith, identity and resilience for the Diocese of Guasdualito.One of the four angels of different ethnicities (white, black, mestizo and indigenous) placed in a semi-circle around the Christ of the Savannah. These angels symbolise the cultural richness of the plain and the need for fraternity.
