Sopo is a small but a very important religious history, which dates back to 1,753 municipality where the washerwoman Rosa Nieto, responsible for parish offices, discovered under the branches of an oak a stone in which he seemed to see printed image the Lord Jesus Christ.
With great devotion the sack bottom of the water and took her home, at night he noted that the pebble gave off the same glow he had seen in the source and was produced by the mysterious stone.
The next day I took the pastor Raimundo Forero, whom this made him the miracle of restoring sight, making then contemplate the figure of Jesus Christ.
This story gives Sopo recognition as a site of pilgrimage, also confirming the historical and religious truth of this holy image Pope Pius IX granted indulgences to this devotion, and so did the Mosquera, Herran and Arbelaez archbishops, from Bogota. In recognition of the Roman pontiff Sopo village agreed to give the name of Pius IX to the hill that serves as a backdrop to the town of Sopo. The parish was erected on September 27, 1653.
The historical factor of the appearance of the image of Christ has marked the history of the community; His temple has become a center of pilgrimage and for the people of this beautiful town is reason to live their Christian faith with greater intensity.
