[gallery] By Anna Carranza Title: Fiesta of the Virgin of Guadalupe Location: Mexico City, Mexico Description: Divas of faith can join thousands from around the country of Mexico and help make the pilgrimage to the Basilica of Guadalupe where the image of la Virgen Morena is kept. On one of the most important dates in the Mexican calendar, most make the trek on bicycles with their hearts set on seeing the monumental atrium. Dancers and musicians add to the richness of the spiritual celebration to Mexico’s patron saint. By the early morning the brilliant lights of fireworks crown the fiesta dedicated to the mother of all mothers. Diva tip: Bottled water and sunscreen are great accessories for worship.
