Who We Celebrate

El Cantare, the Creatorand God of the Earth.

Lord El Cantare above the Earth
The name El Cantare has not previously been made known on earth, and the existence called “El Cantare” is actually the God of the Earth. This being was referred to as “heavenly father” by Jesus Christ, “Allah” in Islamic belief, “Ame-no-Mioya-Gami” in Japanese Shinto, and the “emperor in heaven” in China.
