Abstract

The image contains a news report on the inauguration of Dr. Manuel José Anaya as Dean of the Cathedral. It highlights the importance of this position, which had been vacant for years, and describes the ceremonial events, which included a formal reception and a sumptuous buffet offered to those attending. It also reflects on topics such as ecclesiastical independence and the relationship between Church and State during that period. It describes a formal meeting attended by prominent figures, including the President of the Union, the Governor of the State of Cundinamarca, and the Minister to England, Roberto Bunch, among others. Members of the clergy and the cathedral choir were also present. The event combines politics and religion, closing with a quote from Proverbs that reflects on forgetting one's sorrows and enjoying good company, music, and wine. This news report was published in the Diario de Cundinamarca on May 28, 1870.
