Cuban television broadcast the solemn Eucharist in honor of the Virgin of Charity, Patroness of Cuba, celebrated last September 8, 2020, in her sanctuary in El Cobre, a town near the city of Santiago de Cuba. Up to now, religious events have never been broadcast by the government media in Cuba, so this gesture is considered to be the beginning of a new era.

The Mass was broadcast in the evening by one of the national channels of Cuban television, in a spirit of collaboration between the Church and the State, so that the religious rite could reach the largest number of faithful during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
