Yesterday was the celebration day for the Virgin of Guadalupe.
During the past week several processions have passed along our road in the evenings.
Long lines of children carrying candles and flowers
follow a replica of the Virgin to Our Lady of Guadalupe Church.
Church bells ring out in celebration of her arrival.
The replica sits on a motorized float of Dreams,
serenaded by the procession.
The shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe is the most visited Catholic pilgrimage destination in the world.
Over the Friday and Saturday of 11 to 12 December 2009, a record number of 6.1 million pilgrims
visited the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City to commemorate the anniversary of the apparition.
The Virgin of Guadalupe is considered the Patroness of Mexico and the Continental Americas.
