Chasca


Chasca, also known as "the virgin of the water," is the name of a character from a legend in El Salvador.

According to oral tradition, a wealthy man named Pachacutec lived in the bar of Santiago, which had his daughter Chasca engaged to a prince of a Zutuhil tribe.

Chasca, however, had his heart given to a young fisherman named Acayatl. She was seeing him secretly from her father on the beach; where he, from his raft, sang sweet songs to him.

One ill-fated day, someone shot an arrow to Acayatl while returning from fishing. An envoy of Pachacutec was the murderer. In the distance Chasca observed the crime and screamed with horror, and made the decision to accompany his beloved in death, tied a stone to his waist and threw himself into the water.

The spirit of Chasca appeared for the first time in a white canoe next to Acayatl on the next night of the full moon and does so ever since. Every time the fishermen realize the full moon, they do not go fishing because out of respect they do not want to disturb the virgin of the water and their beloved, they see the respect, they bless the fishing.
