As part of the religious tradition of Venezuela, the Virgin of the Valley (Virgen del Valle) is considered as the pattern of the east of Venezuela, being venerated with special devotion in Isla Margarita. Every 8 September, many people go to venerate her, in their sanctuary located in the Margarita Valley near Porlamar. The celebration lasts several days and, in each one of them, the Virgin shines a beautiful suit designed with fabrics provided by her devotee ones.
