Bible Day Drew 5,000 People in Zulia, Venezuela
The Concha Acústica in San Francisco welcomed families from across the country, with Denicher Pol and Gilberto Daza on stage.
More than 5,000 people filled the Concha Acústica in San Francisco, in Zulia, to celebrate Bible Day, Altar7 reported. The Alianza de Pastores del Estado Zulia organized the event together with San Francisco Mi Casa.
Families came to the amphitheater from the state of Zulia and from other regions of the country. The main stage was the Concha Acústica, an iconic venue in San Francisco, according to Altar7. The program combined teaching on family and spiritual life with dances and choreography by local groups.
Biblical costumes and teaching for the family
The event was also billed as the Day of the Holy Scriptures, so teaching held a central place. There was content aimed at strengthening families and the spiritual life of those who attended, along with artistic performances by local groups.
«A crowd in an amphitheater does not change a city on its own»
The crowd supplied the color: a massive turnout of children, young people and adults dressed as biblical characters, according to Altar7. The organizers framed it as a creative, festive tribute to the Word of God.
A stage with voices from three countries
The high point of the celebration was a top-level concert. The lineup brought together regional, national and international voices, and two names crossed borders: Dominican singer-songwriter Denicher Pol and Colombian Gilberto Daza. With them, the crowd sang songs of faith, hope and gratitude.
The event was carried out with civility and order. State security forces and prevention agencies were strategically deployed to protect attendees and keep the peace throughout the event. No incidents were reported.
A church that blesses its city
Spokespeople for the Alianza de Pastores del Estado Zulia thanked the community for its support. They presented the event as an opportunity to bless the municipality of San Francisco, the state and Venezuela through the message of the Scriptures.
Behind the concert there was a structure: pastors, a local organization and other institutions in the area who worked together on the outreach. The organizers shared information about the event on social media, under the handle @diadelabiblia.
The Bible that was celebrated that day is not a civic symbol. It is the book the church reads, teaches and obeys. "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." (Psalm 119:105, ESV)
A crowd in an amphitheater does not change a city on its own. What does leave a mark is what each family takes home and opens during the week, when there is no stage or microphone anymore. If there is room at your church for something similar—a public reading, an afternoon of Bible stories for kids, a concert in the plaza—suggest it. And if you get invited to one, bring someone who hasn't yet read the book we celebrate.
