Here is a small piece out of the programe.
“Mighty sun! Our only father! Source of warmth! Fountain of happiness, I salute you with joy and I venerate you on this, your great day God of Day! Burning Sun! Now beloved people watching the festival of the Sun God. Now beloved people of the sacred city of Cusco, let us march together to Haukaypata to venerate the sun god and all the deities who protect us and then let us go up to the towers of Sacsayhuaman. There we will know the divine will of our great and almighty father, Let us go with hope and faith.”
