In the Sierra de la Cruz de Mayo is located the hermitage of the same name, which has its origin in a cross located in the same place, whose existence is associated with the foundation of the Brotherhood of the Holy Christ of Veracruz in the year 1721. On the remains of that monument, the residents of the region built a temple in 1900, under the promise that its construction would bring their children safe and sound from the war in Cuba and the Philippines. Over time the hermitage has been enlarged and modified. Currently, it hosts a traditional pilgrimage every May 3rd.
