One of the most beloved sculptures by the Puerto Padre people is the bust of mothers, a point of reference for visitors and residents. It does not have great artistic values, but around it, every day those who visit the city from Holguín turn around and want to visit the Villa Azul of Cuba.
It was the Freemasons who placed the maternal figure on May 12, 1946 in front of the Church of Los Amigos Cuáqueros related in some way to the celebration of the Mothers' Day in Cuba during the 20s, when the missionary Emma Philip, pastor and Director of the Wilmington School held an annual act of remembrance with small plays, as witnessed by Professor Ramón Morell, son of this land.
This is what the newspaper Saturday precises in an editorial, in which it clarifies, that it is not Santiago de las Vegas but Puerto Padre the first to honor the mothers, on the initiative of Eduardo Queral Mayo, as an agreement of the Los Perseverantes lodge of La Villa Azul.
The bust of mothers has received hundreds of looks. Its white silhouette welcomes every day the good eyes of many: some claim to replace it, others erect it higher and others, if it depended on them, would disappear it from that privileged place that is the center of the city.
But there it is, with its calm expression defying indiscipline, vandalism and thanking those who do not forget it. It is not Carrara marble as the Statue of Liberty, nor bronze as the monument to the Generalissimo. There is no stylization in it that reveals the authorship of a sculpture master. But nobody imagines La Villa Azul without that maternal figure at the center of the two main arteries of the city.
