Para la construcción de la Iglesia Catedral de Bariloche, el arquitecto Alejandro Bustillo ofreció su proyecto gratuitamente. Su sentimiento se orientó en un estilo neogótico con reminiscencias francesas. Un proyecto que incluía, buscado o no, algo de las herméticas ciencias medievales.
El edificio forma una cruz latina tendida en el suelo con su cabecera orientada exactamente al Este, para que el Sol ilumine de forma adecuada el interior a través de los vitrales, y en el exterior la luz de todas las horas del día crean planos de luz y sombra que embellecen y glorifican este coloso protector del pueblo. Sus muros son de piedra, sus techos negros, severos, dan vigor y culminan la obra a 69 metros de altura en la aguja del campanario.
En 1942 se regularizó el dominio del terreno donde emplazarla y dos años más tarde se concluyó con la estructura de hormigón realizada por la Compañia General de Construcciones con la conducción del Ingeniero Pedro Faukland, actuando como capataz don Esteban Capitanich. Fue cuando comienzan su labor los picapedreros.
Luego se nombró capataz del equipo a don José Lukman, esloveno de nacimiento, picapedrero por herencia, recibido en su juventud tras cuatro años de escuela tallando en las cavas romanas de Aurisinia. El fue quien diseñó y labró, las molduras que le dan elegancia al conjunto, y quien a golpes de maza dió forma a la mayoria de los arcos y a la piedra de encaje.
Publicidad
Para entonces el conjunto de trabajadores de la iglesia, unos cuarenta, almorzaban cada medio día en una fonda de tradición: “La Veneta”, un pequeño edificio de madera ubicado en la esquina de Vice Almirante O’Connor y Palacios muy cerca de la obra, atendida con esmero por la señora Emma Dilena de Lukman, la esposa del capataz.
Los breves instantes de descanso y jolgorio que los trabajadores disfrutaban en aquel restaurante de mesas largas y bancos en lugar de sillas, son muy recordados. Era al mismo tiempo un lugar de comunicación y acercamiento entre los obreros de la región y los llegados de Croacia, Eslovenia e Italia.
Vitrales Iglesia Catedral Bariloche
Los vitrales son un tema aparte: Exequiel Bustillo: promocionó una Comisión de Damas, que, presidida por la señora Isabel Nevares de Ortiz Basualdo – hermana del obispo Jaime de Nevares logró reunir por donaciones el dinero suficiente para encargarlos. En Buenos Aires se había detectado al señor Enrique Thomas, un francés poseedor del arte preciosista del vitral. Pero, ¿quien podia determinar qué imágenes corresponderían al templo?
Atinadamente el Dr. Exequiel Bustillo se comunicó con monseñor Essandi preguntándole acerca de los motivos que deberían contemplarse en los vitrales, sugiriendo tibiamente sobre la posibilidad de que estas imágenes tuviesen vinculaciones regionales, participación que el sacerdote aceptó con entusiasmo. Y asi surgió del taller de Enrique Thomas una preciosa imagen de Nuestra Señora del Nahuel Huapi – patrona del templo- e imágenes vernáculas. En los vitrales estan representados, además, los aborígenes, el padre jesuita Nicolas Mascardi, fray Francisco Menéndez, el mismísimo general Julio Argentino Roca, Ceferino Namuncura, el padre Milanesio – el primer curita del pueblo de Bariloche – y hasta los creadores del templo: los arquitectos Alejandro Bustillo representado como san Rafael – y Miguel Angel Césari, como san Miguel Arcangel.
Los vitrales fueron colocados en 1947, quedando la obra concluida por fuera, con el interior aún en bruto y piso de cemento alisado. Aun así los vecinos, entre ellos Luis Fernández y Pablo Depellegrin, proveyeron algunos bancos. En el campanario, sin campanas, se instaló un carrillón con amplificadores, que por largos años, acompañó con su excelente sonido de campanas al pueblo de Bariloche.
Looking east through nave on 23 June 1976, two days after the summer solstice Mary Magdalene's relics in the crypt
In 1976, Hugues Delautre, one of the Franciscan fathers charged with stewardship of the Vézelay sanctuary, discovered that beyond the customary east-west orientation of the structure, the architecture of La Madeleine incorporates the relative positions of the Earth and the Sun into its design. Every June, just before the feast day of Saint John the Baptist, the astronomical dimensions of the church are revealed as the sun reaches its highest point of the year, at local noon on the summer solstice, when the sunlight coming through the southern clerestory windows casts a series of illuminated spots precisely along the longitudinal center of the nave floor.[13][14][15][16][17]

Our Lady of the Nahuel Huapi is the Patron Saint of Bariloche and its cathedral. The images inside this catholic temple show the indigenist roots of evangelization in Patagonia.
We discovered Bariloche’s church cathedral as soon as we reached the city. Close to the shore of Lake Nahuel Huapi and surrounded by a line of tall pine-trees, it does not go unnoticed.
This house of prayer features a Neo-gothic style with simple lines, very high walls and a dome crowned with a significant crucifix and a globe. Inside, its classical construction in the shape of a Latin cross combines perfectly with the simplicity outside.
Upon entering the building past its thick wooden gates, we stopped at the hall to appreciate two important figures. One of them was made of stone and it represented the image of Our Lady of the Nahuel Huapi holding Child Jesus in her arms and resting her right hand on the shoulder of a native child. The second one was carved in wood and it featured Ceferino Namuncurá wearing his classic poncho pampa. Both of them are enough evidence of the missionary message of the Church.

High-rise and simplicity

We were surprised to learn that the cathedral was put under the protection of Our Lady of the Nahuel Huapi by Monsignor Essandi and that such image had accompanied the ancient mission founded by Father Mascardi during the seventeenth century.
We reached the central nave almost in silence, as if accompanying that very high and simple resonance box. It was held by large columns and the walls were made of local stone. At the altar, a large crucified Jesus Christ prevailed.
The colorful Byzantine stained glasses occupied a predominant position in the last stage of the construction of the cathedral. The image of the Patron Saint stood completely transparent in the altar in front. What is particular about these stained glass figures is that they offered a tribute to their own artisans. The faces of the missionaries Mascardi and Melanesio and of all those who gave their life to the Church, namely builders Alejandro Bustillo and Miguel Angel Césari, were assigned to Biblical characters (Saint Raphael Archangel, Saint Michael Archangel, etc).
These stained glass windows let the sunlight in during the day and the artificial lights at night. When the sun sets, the church comes to a new life: the illumination outside seems to make its walls higher and to highlight its construction details.
We thought the details carved in local wood were quite significant. They were present in the long well-finished pews, in the side altars and the confessional booths.
The building was raised by architect Alejandro Bustillo in 1946. A staircase of six steps made of stone provides majesty to the cathedral entrance through the main gate.
After touring around the entire venue, we left the church feeling quite pleased that it was surrounded by two blocks of excellent green parks. Several religious images and benches to enjoy outdoor life perfectly combined with the peace we had just experienced inside.
Several days later, we attended a choir presentation that gave us a different image of the same cathedral: a place for liturgical meetings but also to encounter and enjoy culture. Another outstanding feature of Bariloche’s cathedral.

How to get here: San Carlos de Bariloche Cathedral Our Lady of the Nahuel Huapí Almirante O’Connor Ave. and Beschtedt St.
Located on O’Connor Avenue, it is easy to find it as the needle on top of its dome may be seen from several points in town or while driving along Bustillo Avenue towards the “kilometer markers” area.
The Cathedral of San Carlos de Bariloche was a must visit in our travelers agenda. We found it in a spacious neat green area, watched by some ancient pine-trees which provide protection from the southern winds. Outside, its lines are simple and its white stones show some deterioration marks due to the local humidity, especially on the lake’s side. Instead of marring it, they provide a certain aging air. It is as if after over 60 years of life it had started to comb its grey hair. We went up some stone steps to face the main gate: two wooden leaves featuring an impressive height and a round arch on top, ornamented with a religious image. Upon entering the building past its glassed hall, we faced the main nave which, just like the exterior part, presents huge proportions, very high columns, simple bare architecture and a figure of Jesus Christ on an immense cross behind the altar.

Located on O’Connor Avenue
That is what our eyes saw. But it is what it represents which is essential: both the religious aspect and the customary. The cathedral is devoted to Our Lady of the Nahuel Huapi, Patron Saint of Bariloche. We found her image in the stained glass above the main altar, as well as in a sculpture at the main hall. Made of stone, it symbolizes Virgin Mary holding Child Jesus in her arms and a native child standing next to her. Likewise, the image of Ceferino Namuncurá carved in wood wearing his poncho pampa and holding a crucifix welcomed us as we went in. Another intercultural detail assumed by the church authorities and its congregation. We appreciated the fact that it was part of the evangelization history in the area and of the cathedral itself. Our Lady of the Nahuel Huapi witnessed the first martyrdoms of laymen, poyas and Jesuit priests. We noticed that the images kept a certain relation with the natives and the culture of Chiloé Island in Chile. It would be worth doing some research on the subject and trying to understand something more than the information provided “in situ”. Its outstanding details include the colorful stained glass windows, the side altars –like that devoted to Our Lady of the Snow, Patron Saint of mountaineers-, and the Stations of the Cross comprised of pointed figures made of clay. The cathedral of Bariloche was inaugurated in 1946 and its architect was well-known Alejandro Bustillo, who also projected other buildings such as Hotel Llao Llao and Hotel Isla Victoria. As we toured around the church, a member of the congregation told us: “Our Lady of the Nahuel Huapi is known as the pilgrim virgin. This is because every year she is taken on board a watercraft around the villages resting on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi”. We attended a very particular Catholic mass in which everyone sang and participated in the celebration. We were impressed both by the site and the circumstance. When we left, the night was falling. We appreciated the striking outdoor illumination of the church. As we went up the steep streets of the center, a blue light showed us the way from the slate of its black roof.
The Star of David is an ancient symbol of Judaism (see Drashot Ben Ish Chai, ki teitzei). The oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible, known as the Leningrad Codex (dated 1008CE), has a "Star of David" on its cover page.
Is there a sign that the Hebrew word "Yisrael" (ישראל) and the "Star of David" figurate are mathematically connected?
The mathematical formula for "Star of David" (Hexagram) figurate numbers is
Star(n) = 6n(n-1)+1
The Star of David (Hexagram) figurate is formed by the merging of two triangle Figurates. For example, two 28 dot triangle figurates can be merged to form a 37 Star of David figurate.
Triangular Numbers
A pool game, for example, is made up of 15 identical size billiard balls.
15 is a triangular number. Thus, the 15 balls can be arranged into a perfect triangle figurate.
If there were 14 balls or 16 balls, this would not be possible.
Examples of triangular numbers are 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, etc.
Their mathematical formula is:
Triangle(n) = n(n+1)/2
Let us now look at the Star of David (Hexagram) numbers according to their formula:
Star(n) = 6n(n-1)+1

Our name "Yisrael" stems from the Torah:
"G-d said to him, 'your name is Yaakov. Your name shall no longer be called Yaakov, but Yisrael shall be your name', and He named him Yisrael" (Gen.35:10).
G-d Himself granted us this name after Yaakov, our forefather, vanquished the angel of Eisav which he (spiritually) wrestled with (Genesis 32:23-31).
This angel was the Satan himself.

Yaakov won the struggle and transformed the power of evil to the power of good and this joined with his old name to grant him the new name - Yisrael.
Do you recognize the number 541?
It is none other than the 10th Star of David number.
It is interesting that Yaakov received the name Yisrael after defeating the Satan.
Yisrael hints to a perfect/whole man - Tiferet Yisrael (the splendor of Yisrael).
Center Point
541 is the exact center point of 1081
1--------------------1081
^ 541
Tiferet (תפארת) = 1081 and Yisrael ישראל = 541
For Yaakov, the man of truth (Michah 7:20), had all his 10 Sefirot rectified properly (he also became a Merkava (chariot) for the Sefirah of Tiferet).
10 is a whole/collective number. Thus, G-d created the world with 10 utterances and gave us the 10 commandments.
This is why the name G-d granted to us after Yaakov defeated the power of evil is the 10th star of David number.
The statistical odds of the Hebrew name Yisrael having gematria of 541 are slightly more than 1 percent (see video). Thus, the chance of this being designed is about 99 percent.
There is much to elaborate on this.
For example, the inner hexagon of Yisrael has 271 dots.
The 12 triangles in the Magen David have 45 dots (Gematria of Adam).
Every diagonal has 37 rows, and much much more.
Interestingly, 541 = 100th prime number = 102
Snowflakes
One of the most striking examples of natural artistry in the inanimate world is in the formation of snowflakes. Each snowflake is a miracle of beauty, a masterpiece of design and no one design seems to ever be repeated. Amazingly, snowflakes typically have a Magen David or an outline of it discernible in the center. Here is a picture of a real typical snowflake under a microscope.
Zion Star
The Torah commands us: "speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, you shall be holy, for I the L-rd your G-d am holy." (Lev.19:2).
The final verse in this weekly portion (Kedoshim) has 2701 Gematria[1]. For this torah portion contains the purpose of creation - to become holy like G-d.
"And they shall make Me a sanctuary and I will dwell in their midst" (Ex.25:8).
And in the "Path of the Just" ch.26 (final chapter):
"But for the holy man who constantly clings to his G-d, whose soul treads freely among true thoughts in love of his Creator and fear of Him, behold, it is considered as if he is walking before G-d in the Land of the Living, while still here in this world.
Such a man is himself considered as a Tabernacle, a Temple and an altar. For the Shechina (divine presence) dwells within him just as it dwelled in the Temple [of Jerusalem]. Due to this, the food he eats is like a sacrifice offered upon the fire of the altar, for certainly it was a great elevation for those things to be offered on the altar, since they were offered before the Shechinah."
Amazingly:
The Gematria of "Zion", the place of the Temple:
=
ציון (Zion)
=
156
The Gematria of "Shechina" (divine presence):
=
שכינה (Shechina)
=
385
Total: 156 + 385 = 541 (Israel)
The 10th Star of David figurate (Israel) is composed of a frame and inner part. Amazingly, this splits into 156/385 for Zion/Shechinah.
And in the daily prayers, we say: "And may our eyes behold Your return to Zion in mercy. Blessed are You L-rd, who restores His Shechinah to Zion"
156 is also the Gematria of "Yosef" who was the epitome of the "Tzadik" (righteous person)[2]. For as before, the job of the Tzadik is to become a Temple for G-d's holiness just like Zion was the Temple for G-d's Shechina (divine presence[3]) (heard from Oren Evron).
Interestingly, the "Zionist" movement to resettle the land of Israel consisted mainly of secular Jews. For they wanted the land of Israel as a sort of nationalist motive. But their motives lacked the Shechinah aspect. Thus, divine providence arranged it that the Israeli flag of the "Zionists" was that of the frame of the star of David only. But the real purpose of Israel is to also bring the Shechinah into the world. (and likewise, for marriage between husband and wife - to build a torah home where the Shechinah can dwell. All this and more is symbolized in the Star of David!)
Esto me intriga. La primera vez que quise orientar un telescopio en Bariloche me encontré con que las calles del centro, que parecen correr de norte a sur, en realidad están un poco rotadas hacia el sudoeste-noreste. ¿Cuánto? Entre 7 y 8 grados, como podemos ver en Google Earth (podemos hoy, cuando lo descubrí no existía Earth). No parece mucho, pero para la puesta en estación de un telescopio astronómico es bastante. Así que las calles no servían, y hay que usar una brújula para acomodar la montura aproximadamente hacia el norte. Así que me compré una brújula, y resultó que ¡la brújula sí apuntaba exactamente en dirección de las calles!
El fenómeno se llama declinación magnética: el campo magnético terrestre, que se origina en las profundidades del planeta, no está exactamente alineado con el eje de rotación. Para complicar las cosas esta declinación no es la misma en toda la superficie de la Tierra. Hoy en día podemos averiguar la declinación magnética usando esta calculadora del NOAA. Vemos que en Bariloche corresponde a la inclinación de las calles.
OK, me dije. Seguro que cuando trazaron las calles a principios del siglo XX usaron una brújula y les quedó así. ¿Quién lo habría hecho? ¿Carlos Wiederhold, el "fundador" no oficial de Bariloche? Parece que no. Hace poco leí una nota en el diario local El Cordillerano, donde se cuenta que un capitán del ejército, Mariano Fósbery, hizo construir en 1902 una comisaría, un juzgado de paz, un cuartel y trazó las calles originales. Fósbery era jefe del escuadrón de caballería estacionado en San Martín de los Andes, y fue enviado a la costa sur del Nahuel Huapi, donde desde 1895 venía estableciéndose una pequeña población alrededor de la primera casa y almacén construidos por Don Carlos. El 3 de mayo de ese año el Presidente Roca destinó 400 hectáreas para el pueblo de San Carlos, fecha que celebramos hoy en día como cumpleaños de Bariloche. ¿Puede haber sido el capitán Fósbery, en su celo militar, quien trazó las calles brújula en mano? Parecía una explicación lógica.
Finalmente descubrí que no era posible. El campo magnético de la Tierra va cambiando. Sabemos inclusive que a intervalos irregulares, cada tantas decenas de miles de años el campo se invierte. Y 100 años son suficientes para percibirlo. En el mismo NOAA puede consultarse la declinación magnética del pasado. Para la región del Nahuel Huapi, en el año 1902, se veía así. La línea resaltada en amarillo, que pasa cerca de Bariloche, es de 17 grados. ¡Mucho más que ahora! Así que me queda la duda del origen de los 8 grados de declinación de las calles. Hoy mismo la declinación en mi casa es de 6.6 grados, casi un grado menos que en el 2000 cuando noté el fenómeno.
¿En algún lado el norte verdadero coincidirá con el magnético? Claro que sí. La línea de cero grados de declinacón magnética cruza la Argentina en diagonal, desde Mendoza hasta el Golfo San Matías. Los afortunados astrónomos que viven sobre ella pueden usar sus brújulas para acomodar sus telescopios.
Este tramado de líneas se va moviendo lentamente hacia el oeste. Dentro de 50 años el cero estará sobre Bariloche. ¡Yupi!
The Virgin of the Snow has her own place. Every year, her followers come along on a pilgrimage to worship her image.
It was easy to access the Virgin of the Snow grotto and pleasant to see the generous space she enjoys in the outskirts of San Carlos de Bariloche. The chapel was built with local stone, one rock on top of the other in order to provide shelter to the image of the virgin. We went up a wide staircase divided into three stretches. Old tall trees of thin trunks watched over the site on both sides of the path. We were surprised to see the number of plates on the wall of stone. Made of various materials and featuring different formats, they had all been placed there with the same fervor to say “Thank You”. Who knows why all those people thanked the virgin in writing after their prayers had been heard? It was spine-chilling. We felt that faith and gratitude could be bigger than the miracle itself. Some lit candles, others already out, natural and artificial flowers were seen all around. Each of these elements implied a life history.
Has her own place
On a mountain slope
The virgin stands at the top of the grotto
To say “Thank You”
The image of the virgin stands at the top of the grotto, sheltered from the weather behind bars and a glass, and it is holding Child Jesus in her arms. Ever since 1945, she has been nestled in the same site. It was the chief of the mountain military school who ordered the construction of the grotto after he was involved in a car accident and he survived miraculously. Afterwards, the Virgin of the Snow was well-known for her gifts. She was also visited by mountaineers before climbing up the mountain, by sportsmen and workmen. They would come along to the grotto and pray: “Mother of the Snow, as Patron Saint may you protect your children lovers of mountain activities” “And let this prayer be heard: hail Holy Mother of God, protect the mountaineers and let the good snow enrich our fields.” According to what we had read, Our Lady of the Snow is an ancient protector known since the times of the foundation of Buenos Aires. She is considered to guard believers from natural threats and to carry out miraculous healings. In the Catholic calendar, August 5 is the commemoration date of Our Lady of the Snow. Every year, the congregation gets together on a pilgrimage from faraway hamlets to the grotto in order to offer their heart. It is said that the number of pilgrims increases year after year. They come from other cities in Patagonia to worship the Virgin. This has become one of the greatest Christian movements in Bariloche. In the city, another image of the Virgin of the Snow is located inside the church cathedral, at one of the side altars. As we devoted some minutes to understanding the force ruling over this spot, a man approached us, stopped in front of the image for a moment and crossed himself. Apparently, her followers arrive in the grotto at any moment, not necessarily on the day of the procession. They meditate, pray, leave a request. Only a few minutes are enough to pay respect. Faith can move mountains. In this case, it was completely proved.
