Hugo Chavez has an appointment with the operating rooms of Cuba, and what has gotten the carefulness in Caracas, is that in the night of Friday he lit 'Cruz of Ávila.'
Cruz that is an icon of the month of December, time of parties, was fastened in support to the President Chavez who will be operated in Cuba.
Weeks ago that in Venezuela, the rumor that of this he doesn't come out runs. I wait that for the human being's part it saves the life, but that the politician allows to live in Peace to the Venezuelans.
Some data of 'Cruz of Ávila':
It is an enormous Latin cross of neon, located in the Showy Hill of the National Park Ávila that can be seen clearly during Christmas from Caracas, Venezuela. The cross lights traditionally from December of every year 1 up to January of the following one 6.
Ottomar Pfersdorff, American engineer, you displaces in the year 40 to Venezuela to work there, the one that I devise the cross was. This was the one that I develop the plan of the Electricity of Caracas in1948. Him and the establishment EDC decided to create a representative icon of the parties that there took place. Their managements made that December 1, 1963, the personnel of the Hotel Humboldt, in the summit of Ávila, closed the curtains of thirty rooms from the floor 1 at the 14, and to maintain the remaining ones lit for the whole night, in such a way that reproduced the image of a Christian cross of 30 meters of high. The energy expenditure was of 384 daily KWh.
For their high expense you takes I end up, in 1982, the construction of a texture separated whose administration would be in charge of the Electricity of Caracas. This new cross, to 1,530 MSL, it was made with galvanized iron attached to a transmission tower.
It measures 37 meters of high for 18 meters wide.
I think that instead of requesting a prayer in the media, in an unofficial way this way you this making.
