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.
