An echo of faith resonates from the Cimborio Virgen Del Cisne. It stands in Quito’s Calderon Parish. This domed structure honors the Virgin of El Cisne. The Cimborio Virgen Del Cisne’s story began in the 1980s. Pedro Maza Alejandro conceived and designed it. His mother, María Emperatriz Alejandro, was a devout follower of the Virgin. Her husband, Segundo Ruben Maza Jumbo, shared this devotion. The design took shape in the 1980s. Construction began in the 1990s. Families from across Ecuador, particularly Loja Province, contributed. Many had migrated to Quito for better opportunities. Their home province had suffered droughts, earthquakes, and food shortages. The community played a vital role in the Cimborio’s creation. Neighbors, devotees, and authorities all pitched in. The structure’s unique shape and design stand out. The materials and labor used are equally remarkable. Skilled masons, technicians, and workers, both men and women, brought the vision to life. The Cimborio Virgen Del Cisne stands as a testament to faith and community.
