La Virgen de Guadalupe

La Virgen de Guadalupe

Today is a very important day in the lives of all people from Mexico. It commemorates the appearance of the Virgen de Guadalupe to San Juan Diego on the Hill of Tepeyac back in 1531.

To see the pilgrimages of people walking to the main Cathedral in Mexico City beginning on December 10th is amazing. Some people walk hundreds of miles, others drive, but when you get to the Cathedral, you can see literally thousands of people, on their knees, making penance or asking to be looked upon favorably by her.

La Virgen de Guadalupe is the mother of all Mexican people and they are very proud of this.

You don't have to be Catholic or Mexican to read this very interesting story of her apparition on wikipedia.

:love::love:

Yes, today is a day very important for us on our country, we the Mexican people loves to the Virgen de Guadalupe, last night in each church of the our country miles of people or millions of people gets to the cathedral from Mexico, they get to the cathedral since sundry places from Mexico, tonight the Mexican will go to the church more nearby to their home, and they chant her, she is our mother, VIVE THE VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE.

Someday I would love to be in Mexico City on this particular day to celebrate with the people there.

Here are some photos I took at the Shrine of our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City:

Si tuviera la oportunidad de viajar allí durante esta epoca, yo lo haría! Pues, he estado en México y he visitado la basilica dos veces. Las fotos arriba son mias (yo las tomé con mi camera). También, soy católico y me encanta la virgen. Estoy de acuerdo que ella es muy importante y especial.

Pues, quiero regresar a D.F. pronto, pero no sé exactamente cuando. Quizas el proximo verano. Pero, para mi es dificil viajar durante deciembre. Trabajo de maestro y no es facil viajar en este mes. Pero, lo que es bueno es que Houston no esta muy lejos de D.F. Solo dos horas por avion!

Por favor corrige mis errores! Sé que hay muchos.
