History

edit

El Calabazal[1] was founded in the year 1555 – 1595 by a group of Realists guided by Juan de Salas and Bernardino de Salas at an important time in the state's history. It is not known if the two men were related.

Bearing the image of Saint Joseph (San José in Spanish), the Cristelos[who?] founded the church between 1801 and 1818. The roof of the stone church was supported with pines cut from the hill, harvested by the community with their own hands. They also created the first cemetery in the municipality of Sombrerete.

In 1975 the former archbishop of Duran Mons, Antonio López Aviña, expanded the San José del Calabazal Parish (Saint Joseph Calabazal Parish) which was very small. To not destroy the old parish, he added it to the existing one.

There is an old cross on the top of the hill, placed in 1940, which was named De la Santa Cruz Misionera because it was blessed by a Missionary priest who came to town. There is a celebration on May 22 with traditional dance, mañanitas and relic in the Parras neighborhood.

In 1972 another holy cross was made in the neighborhood of La Laguna which is celebrated on May 2 by all the masons of the community with dance, gunpowder, relic, mass, and the rosary.

Christ the King was made by a priest, son of a defender of the faith, Pablo Aurelio, September 20, 1961. Every year they celebrate that day with music, mass, rockets. By the year of 1952 the name of the community was changed to 'Villa Insurgentes' , which is what it currently has.

Pantheon (Old) is the oldest pantheon in Villa Insurgentes according to the tomas, the oldest is by María de los Ángeles Ibarra de Saucedo who died on December 8, 1910. Although it cannot be older since they took out the dead to put New bodies

In Holy Week a traditional viacrucis is made from San José del Calabazal Parish to the Holy Missionary Cross where it is crucified Jesus of Nazareth. In the town and the neighboring communities that compose it there is an image of Santo Niño de Atocha created in the town of Villa Insurgentes since March 19, 1993. house by house 365 days a year where a rosary is made and people are given a relic. As the parties approach in the city of Plateros, Fresnillo, people come with the same image that walks through the houses to the Sanctuary of Plateros which is a Catholic sanctuary of Mexico where the small image of Santo Niño de Atocha is venerated.
