Hace casi dos siglos ya, pues sucedió en el año 1811, los vecinos de los Altos, del Barranco del Pinar, de Piedra de Molino, de Junquillo y Verdejo, Palmitales, Calabozo y Paso, Caideros de San José, Saucillo y Lucena, ofrecieron esta fiesta votiva a la Virgen de Santa María de Guía, en franco agradecimiento al milagro patente por haber salvado sus tierras y cosechas del azote de la cigarra que habría de hundirlos en la miseria y en la más negra desesperación. Este voto se hizo en la Montaña de Vergara, de rodillas, llorando ante el desastre inminente. Todos se postraron a la vista de las torres del Santuario de la Virgen, con los ojos clavados en una esperanza que sólo la Fe les hacía tangible. Y la Virgen les oyó. De allí a pocos instantes, vieron unas nubes que subían barranco arriba desde el mar y que al llegar sobre las tierras que gemían bajo el castigo de la plaga, descargó en lluvia torrencial arrasando en pocos momentos la cigarra y alejando en forma tan milagrosa la devastación y la ruina que se cernía sobre sus heredades y sobre toda aquella comarca.

Allí mismo, encima de la tierra redimida del castigo, ofrecieron los más viejos – en sus nombres y en los de todos los que de sus sangres de allí en adelante le sucedieren,- llevar cada año a la Santísima Virgen de Guía la ofrenda de sus terrazgos y el fruto de sus trabajos y afanes.

Desde entonces, cada año, se ha venido celebrando ininterrumpidamente esta fiesta, una de las más hermosas y profundamente populares que en nuestra tierra ofrece la tradición y la Fe. Las generaciones actuales quieren incrementar esos sentimientos de gratitud y devoción a la Santísima Virgen y, en este año, a través del tiempo, se harán presentes con fuerza nueva todos los descendientes de aquellos que hace ya casi doscientos años, ofrecieron a la Virgen este homenaje eterno en unión del pueblo de Guía, en la realización del voto aquél, voto que está hecho de Fe, de Esperanza y de Amor a Nuestra Patrona la Virgen de Guía.

LOS MAYORDOMOS DE LAS MARÍAS

La unión, el fervor y el agradecimiento ha sido una constante de los campesinos de la comarca, que desde entonces han venido cumpliendo fielmente, lo que se ha llamado el Voto de Vergara, por ser esta la Montaña donde los campesinos hicieron dicha promesa.

Desde entonces se constituyó una junta de organizadores que se denominan Mayordomos, que son los encargados de que anualmente se cumpla lo prometido a la Virgen María, y que además velan por que esta tradición se mantenga pura a sus orígenes.

Los Mayordomos de la Fiesta de Las Marías de Guía, desarrollan su labor desinteresadamente, y en muchas ocasiones pasa dicho “título” de generación en generación, teniendo como única premisa el cumplimiento de la promesa y del respeto en todo momento a las tradiciones, y a la recuperación del acervo histórico.

De esta manera en los últimos años han introducido elementos que le dan mayor identidad a la fiesta, como la recuperación de carros de carga tirados por yuntas, exhibición de trilla de cereales, etc; pues en definitiva el origen de esta fiesta no es otro que el campo grancanario.

Nearly two centuries and, as happened in 1811, residents of the Highlands of the Barranco del Pinar, Piedra Molino, ofJunquillo and Verdejo, Palmital, Calabozo and Paso, Caideros of San Jose, Saucillo and Lucena, offered this votive feast to the Virgin of Santa María de Guía, thanks to the miracle in French patent for saving their land and crops from the scourge of cricket that would sink into poverty and into the blackest despair. This vote was done in the Mountain Vergara, knees, weeping before the impending disaster. Everyone fell in sight of the towers of the Shrine of the Virgin, with eyes fixed in a hope that only faith made ​​them tangible. And they heard the Virgin. From there a few moments, they saw a cloud that rose up from the sea cliff and reaching the land they groaned under the punishment of the plague, dumped torrential rain sweeping in a few moments away in the cicada and the devastation is so miraculous and the ruin that hung over their inheritance and all that region.

There, above the earth redeemed from punishment, provided the older - in their names and those of all their blood which thereafter may succeed, - lead each year to the Blessed Virgin of the offering of their Guide Terrazgos and the fruit of their work and ambitions.

Since then, every year has been held continuously, this festival, one of the most beautiful and deeply popular in our country offers the faith tradition and current generations want to increase feelings of gratitude and devotion to the Blessed Virgin and this year, over time, will be present with new force all the descendants of those who almost two hundred years ago, offered this tribute to the Virgin eternal unity of the people of Guidance, the realization of one vote, voting is made of Faith, Hope and Love to Our Patroness Our Virgin of Guía.

STEWARDS OF THE MARIAS

The union, the fervor and gratitude has been a constant of the peasants of the region, which have since been faithfully, what has been called the Vow of Vergara, as this is the mountain where the peasants made that promise. Since then constituted a board of organizers who are called Stewards (Mayordomos), who are responsible for compliance annually promised the Virgin María and also seek to ensure that this tradition be maintained pure in its origins.

The Stewards of the Fiesta de Las Marías Guía, develop their work selflessly, and often passes the "title" from generation to generation, with the only proviso, the fulfillment of the promise and respect at all times to the traditions and recovery of the historical. Thus in recent years have brought major elements that give identity to the party, as the recovery of freight wagons pulled by oxen, threshing grain display, etc., because ultimately the origin of this festival is none other than the field of Gran Canaria.
