Virgen de Guadalupe day in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas. MEXICO.

December 12th is the day of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the patron saint of Mexico. It’s one of the most important celebrations of Mexico. On this day, pilgrims from all around converge at the basilica on top of the hill and thousands of people gather to celebrate and to pay their respects to the virgin. The celebrations include special masses, fireworks, processions, parades and live music. On the first picture we can see some pilgrims at the end of their journey, feeling the pain on their exhausted feet, during our visit at the end of 2000.
